Apple's Trojan Mac virus
Releasing a Windows version of Safari is a savvy uber-marketing move by Steve Jobs.
With one simple download, Apple gives PC users a hands-on experience in a Mac environment with Apple's design, layout, navigation and user interface. In just a little way, Windows users can now have a Mac inside the box.
This is no small thing when you consider Apple's rising momentum in hardware sales. Many PC users are being lured by the hype about the Mac and switching is becoming a popular topic among podcasts and blogs.
In putting a PC version of Safari out there, Apple's given potential switchers an easy way to test of life on the other side.
Disclaimer ... I own shares of Apple stock. Bought 'em at $65. :)
I love Safari on my Windows PC now too. IE is icky, icky stuff.
