Releasing Safari for Windows does not seem like something that would when you compare it to Quicktime and iTunes. iTunes introduced the iPod to Windows (yes there were other ways, but they weren't very good) - which resulted in millions more iPods being sold. Quicktime is also a widely used media format online, so it only makes sense to release it.<br /> <br /> I believe if Apple started to port applications such as Safari over, it would hurt their sales significantly. Besides the cool looking hardware, its really the software that makes a Mac "Just Work". Why would anyone fork over money for "expensive" hardware when they can just run the same applications in Windows?

I'd die for a decent, maintained khtml/webkit browser on Windows; IE7's UI is a mess, and Gecko is slow and feels very heavy. It's always a relief to be using Konqueror or Safari. Agreed.
