You may, or may not know, that I have been an avid mozilla user for years. I was a beta-tester for the Mozilla Firebird browser (a pre-formation of Firefox); so, I have been adequately pleased over the years with FF. Now, I have switched over to using Safari for Windows solely.
Firefox was a light-year jump over Internet Explorer (any version). Safari is equally superior in relation to FF. Safari is "lightning-Fast" right out-of-the-box and leaves no ports "open" or "exposed." All this and it remains VERY intuitive!
At first, I was skeptical of Apple's dedication to providing a "quality-product" for PC's. But I have really developed a kind-ship to safari and it's security/performance.
I use a FREE-WARE program to monitor my ports called A-Ports (active-ports). I have noticed that no-ports are left open or exposed while using Safari. You can read about this and download it from CNET.com's website here: http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=Active+Ports&searchtype=downloads
This is a port-scanner. Please be aware that most security software packs will flag it as a security-risk (because ALL port-scanners are automatically flagged). I can assure you, I have used it for years and it is completely safe.
Safari has become a "major-player" in the PC browser market and I believe it to be the most superior browser available on any platform.
I encourage everyone to give Safari a try! I believe that you will find it as enjoyable and intuitive as I do!
Here's a link to Apple's website where the latest version of Safari can be downloaded for free: http://www.apple.com/safari/
Good luck and happy surfing!

I have been recently contacted by Google to beta-test their entry into the Browser-Market. Google Chrome version-????. They are supposed to send me some beta-versions of the current projects. I don't know what the non-disclosure agreement will prevent me from discussing, but I will report back with any news after I get involved.

Good Luck with the beta-testing... sounds cool.
Can't believe she is 2 already. Next thing I know she will be getting her first car and looking into college. They do grow up way to fast! Cherish every moment. Talk pictures and movies of every single silly moment. Later you will relish in the fact that you have them to look back on.
She is precious though. I'm sure you are a very proud Dad!

I have a little bad news to report... the past 24hrs I have been trying to install several ad-block plug-ins for safari. None of them work.
This is really disappointing, because I was so excited about the Safari browser . Although I enjoy the page-loads with safari, I just cannot accept the inability to BLOCK-AD scripts. This is a giant-step-backwards, in my opinion! Especially the flashing banners and annoying midi-scripts designed to catch your attention.
This is sad because it is really the only thing I dislike about Safari.
I will have to hope that they come out with a solution and restore my hope and optimism.

Ok, I am back using FireFox.I uninstalled Safari, so I wouldn't be tempted to start messing around with it again. I feel like I cheated on my wife and she accepted me back. FF has always been my first-love.
