Me too. I don't know of many Mac users that don't use Safari as their primary browser. In fact, the only one I can think of that won't use it would prboably use Terminal and a text-baed browser with ASCII images if that were an option. ????
Lynx FTW! Great browser.
Those were the days, cruising the web in amber text on a tiny curved black screen.
I use Safari for Windows XP at work (yup...still on XP. That's the way education is going right now with budget cuts). The memory leaks are HORRENDOUS. There is one task that takes up an obscene amount of memory when Safari runs--webkit2webprocess.exe. Nothing works in terms of rectifying the problem.
Great! More resources for Logic Pro X and iWork '13....
If only that were so. I get the impression they are laying the groundwork for a change of emphasis. Safari, iWork and iLife would become freebie apps as part of the operating system like Mail and Calender.
Not sure about the Pro app's. Can't remember the last time Logic and Aperture had major new versions and we all know what happened with FCP. If it was up to me I would spin them off into their Filemaker subsidiary so they at least get some attention.

Safari too. I am not letting google anywhere near my cookies, bookmarks, or account passwords. And Firefox? BLEECH.
With iCloud, you can add a new bookmark on one device and have it automatically update across all your devices — iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and PC."

I just thought of something. If Google was fine with recording WiFi accounts, data and passwords when doing Street View drive-bys I wonder if they use Gmail accounts to take your username and password and use it with against other accounts that show up as new emails when you sign up. Unfortunately, most people use the same password for everything. I suggest 1Password for everyone using the internet for anything they want to keep secure. Make those passwords complex and unique.
Makes total sense. Safari is best used on an Apple OS Platform. Screw windows. Safari is ahead of its time any way. All those servers still running Java and Flash are behind the times and it's obvious that Microsoft still wants to hang on to the legacy internet multimedia software.
A shame. While the Apple's insistence on making Safari on Windows look like a mac application made it feel clunky and stand out like a sore thumb the developer tool set on it is by far the best of any browser.

i'm a mac user (mac pro and three minis) and i use firefox as my primary browser (i use the bejesus out of it, actually.) in large part for the more granular cookie control and noscript. but every once in a while something isn't quite as expected and i'll use safari. (and no, i wouldn't use terminal and a text-baed browser with ascii images if that were an option!) i also use firefox on the several virtual machines i use fairly regularly (os x and windows).
Safari was released onto Windows because iOS (then iPhone OS) was only going to have mobile apps in the form of Web Apps. What better Windows-based SDK than the browser itself? Then Apple allowed people to create real apps and the Safari for Windows lost a good reason to exist.
Windows as a consumer OS is definitely failing. Even people who like Windows and have no problem with it would probably seriously consider switching to OS X if the desktop OS doesn't integrate with their iOS devices now.
Are there any stats to back that up? Last I knew, Windows was around 90% market penetration. How do you square that with Windows "failiing"?

I'm afraid when they get around to killing Logic, it'll happen the same way...

Bigger news is that if Safari on Windows is dead, does that mean iCloud bookmark sync is dead?
If Apple kill Safari for Windows then they are idiots.

Meh, so Apple won't be writing a browser for Windows, and Microsoft won't be writing Office for iOS... it's pretty much a wash.
I'm telling you that THIS is what will get get Ballmer's Schwety Balls busy putting out Office for iOS... just you watch!

How long will it take Apple to update this?

"iCloud Bookmarks
With iCloud, you can add a new bookmark on one device and have it automatically update across all your devices — iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and PC."
I'm under the impression that all takes place from a separate app that can pull from at least IE so I think that's safe.
You are not mistaken.

FileMaker 12 is absolutely fantastic on a Mac- way better than 11- faster, and the slight change to icons are refreshing.
It's amazing how much better FileMaker runs on my iMac (only Mac in office) compared to all my windows coworkers.

Why would any Windows user bother to install Safari? Is there anything unique about it?
Is it even the most popular of the OSX browsers out there?

And getting lost in Gopher Space. Yep - those were the days. It was Magic back then.
I happen to love Safari on my Windows machines.
This is bad news for me.
I'm dread to weigh the alternatives. I guess I'll use v5 until it breaks./sigh
