Windows users can download Safari 3.2.2 using the Apple Software Update application that was automatically installed the first time their PC got Apple software. The web browser has been patched to solve input validation problems with feed URLs, according to Apple, who credits Clint Ruoho of Laconic Security, Billy Rios of Microsoft, and Brian Mastenbrook for reporting the issues present in the Windows version of Safari.
The Safari beta version for Windows had several known bugs and a zero day exploit that allows remote execution, upon its initial beta release on June 11, 2007, in version 3.0. The addressed bugs were then corrected by Apple three days later on June 14, 2007, in version 3.0.1 on Windows. On June 22, 2007, Apple released Safari 3.0.2 to address some bugs, performance issues and other security issues. Safari 3.0.2 for Windows handles some fonts that are missing in the browser but already installed on Windows computers, such as Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, and others.
Its first beta away many PC users to Apple, because of its many flaws, but like wine, improve with time and after betas betas Safari has matured. Today, we are just using a web browser more stable, more secure and with improvements in the most disparate.
Since the release of Safari, its browser usage share has been climbing. For the month of May 2007, thecounter.com shows that Safari has a usage share of 2.86%; NetApplications.com reports that Safari has a usage share of 4.59% as of April 2007, an increase of 1.33 percentage points since May 2006.
Experience the web, Apple Style, with Safari - the fastest, easiest to use web browser in the world. With its simple, elegant interface, Safari gets out of your way and lets you enjoy the web - up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer. Now on Windows, too. Great invention!!!
