While I was gone to the beach yesterday, Apple's Steve Jobs did a keynote at the World Wide Developer Conference. One of his "oh and one more thing" comments at the end discussed the new version of Safari being included in the Leopard. In addition to development on Leopard, they've also ported Safari 3 to Windows XP and Vista, as well as OS X 10.4. The Beta version for both OS X 10.4 and Windows XP/Vista is now available on their web site for download.

According to Apple, Safari is twice as fast as Internet Explorer and 1.6 times as fast as Firefox on Windows XP.

I've been running the OS X 10.4 version this morning and so far, I'm very impressed. For my Windows-loving friends, give it a try and let me know how it works on Windows. You can download it and see all the propaganda at http://www.apple.com/safari/.
