I think you're overestimating this. If they were really looking for a way into leveraging Windows as a development platform for desktop and mobile platforms they would embrace/extend Silverlight.

This looks like a day late and a dollar short of a strategy.

I can't figure out why they made it so mac-like that it doesn't even give you sizing handles on the edges but forces you to resize only with the bottom right corner.

At least I can tab to checkboxes and buttons with Win Safari, unlike on the mac (in both safari and FF, seems to be a mac thing). Everywhere but the mac, logins are username [tab] password [tab] rememberme [space-to-check] [tab] submit [space-to-press]. On the mac I have to leave the keyboard and navigate the mouse to the checkbox and button.

for me, safari for windows is the worst product apple has released in a couple of years. it can't handle international characters like french, italian or dutch websites. (even thought it's ok if you have a US or Canadian English OS)

A trojan horse it may be, but I think that it will be hard for Safari to win much share on Windows. It’s hard to displace the default. I was GM of Netscape, so I have some first hand experience in this....

I blogged about this in Jan when the rumors first surfaced - click on the link below if you’re interested in more.
