Now it is available for Windows user. With a GUI similar to iTunes, it is an eye candy.<div>On the Apple Safari page, they say that "Safari is the world's best browser" and its performance on "HTML rendering and Javascript outperformances other popular browsers (Mozilla Firefox 2, Opera 9 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7) by considerable margin.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Pros</span></span></span></span></div><div>Some features of the windows version of Safari are,</div><div><ul><li>Tabbed browsing.</li><li>Spelling Checker</li><li>Innovative search feature.

Sometimes it consumes 207,084KB memory. But on idle it consumes 54,000KB to 61,000KB of memory. So it is heavy on resources, but I guess it is the price that we have to pay for such an eye candy.
