is very unimpressive so far...

1- rendering *might* be faster (not noticeable), but holy crap, the program
itself renders slooowwwwww....when resizing, it leaves blocky chunks all
over the screen for a couple seconds

2- sticks out like a sore thumb- uses own windows widgets for some reason-
at least itunes uses windows looking widgets
3- carries over some crappy mac behavior, like only being able to resize
from the lower right. also something that they got right on itunes, but not
safari.
3a- clicking on taskbar does not minimize the window
4 - (just for sandman) way glossier than firefox and ie


i like the demo on the apple website- 'safari even lets you search within a
page' - haha, yeah, that's a feature that hasn't been around for a decade on
every browser.

Um, it hasn't - at least not as Safari does it. Firefox has done comparable
for a while though.

it's the way it's stated that makes it funny (or retarded).
