I noticed that this version is not very stable, so you it may crash (it is a beta version after all), but the most important thing is that web developers can test their sites in Safari without buying a Mac.. Overall I’m not switching away from Firefox2.

One last thing, it appears that Silverlight doesn’t work on Safari for Windows although it seems to recognize the plug-in, I guess Microsoft will fix this in the next release of Silverlight (or may be not!!).
