ATTENTION!!! BUG FOUND...
1. Open Safari in Windows. Now click on its taskbar button to minimize it. Guess what? It'll not be minimized. WHY? coz the options for "Minimize", "Restore", etc are disabled. STRANGE!!!
2. Maximize Safari and now click on Minimize button. OK cool, it'll be minimized and now maximize it again. VOILLA, it'll not be in maximized when u'll restore it.
3. Maximize it and right-click on its taskbar button and guess what? U'll get option for "Move" even its in maximized state. STRANGE!!!

2 MORE BUGS:
===========
1. "Windows -> Maximize" remains same always irrespective of the window is maximized or not! It should interchange between "Maximize" and "Restore" based upon the window state.
2. "Edit -> Spelling -> Check Spelling While Typing" doesnt work.

^^ lol.
Actually u didnt get my BUG. I meant the option "Windows -> Maximize" remains same. When u click on "Windows " menu, there will be an option "Maximize". This option remains same either ur windows is already in maximized state or not!
It should change to "Restore" if the window is not maximized.

Apple made Safari available for a few reasons:
1. To increase the user base so that more web developers start supporting it.
2. To give web developers stuck with Windows a platform for testing how their applications will look on the iPhone.
3. To give Windows users a taste of Mac OS X's interface to try and attract more customers.
If they made it with a Windows UI, it would defeat the third purpose. I am not justifying the move, just explaining it. I agree that the unified theme does look out of sorts with Vista's glassy interface and that the three buttons for maximise, minimise and close look ugly.

^^ Yeah, here the Bold, Italics options are disabled.
What I think is, they hvnt removed non-working options from windows version. They'll make them working in future releases.
Thats why many options arnt working in this version and such options are greyed out.

To all of you using the Windows version, does it support drag and drop well? I mean, can you do all/some of the following:
1. Dragging links onto the bookmarks/tabs bar.
2. Dragging images and links out of the browser onto the desktop to save them.
3. Dragging text out of the browser onto the desktop.
4. Dragging text among form fields and within a field.
Also, when you click on the '+' sign to add a bookmark, what sort of a dialog box appears?
