First I want to congratulate Apple and their 1 class marketing wizard guru Steve Jobs that could probably sell sand to people living in inner Tchad on the Beta release of Safari on windows
First they claim they are the first to make a fullfledged browser on a phone. Well ya'll know thats far from true..
But he says so so it must be true..
Then they release Safari on Windows.. Something I think is good.. Safari is very good at standards and very cooperative when it comes to OTW :-)

Now regarding speed, Jobs presented a quick Ibench test and everyone was just wooow... They are soo fast..
And yes.. They are really fast in web content presenting the past according to the Benchmark..
Maybe about time Web 2.0 enters apple's HQ?
Web pages are no longer just tables+images and some text. Now you got heavy interaction with tons of "Ajax"

Enough rant about skewed reality: Ibench+Safari+numbers=inaccurate..
Wanna know why? Read on here:

Ironically, pages with "tons of Ajax" are exactly the ones Opera is weakest at in terms of working with in the first place. I'd rather have compatibility than speed.

seiler: Yeah thats a problem.. Not that Opera is weak there except for tha market position that makes the devs ignore us :-|
