[muglo] Re: New Apple Browser, Safari

Well, the contract Apple signed with MS to include Internet Exploder in
Mac OS has expired. It intrigues me that Apple went with the Konqerer
HTML rendering engine and not a perhaps more finished Gecko engine, but
between that and their announcement of a fully optimized X windows
implementation for OS X, it leads me to think that perhaps they will
throw their weight behind OpenOffice or KOffice, both of which are very
good open source office platforms. Is it smart to anger MS? Only time
will tell, but it should make for an interesting show.

I am pleased with the search back arrow thingie in the google search
thing, and now that I can kill that blasted brushed metal UI, Safari is
looking very good. It's not quite up to snuff yet, but it will get there
fast.

Actually i took your suggestion and downloaded Chimera but spending 
more time with Safari, it really works amazingly well.  There are only 
some problems with overlapping if the window size isn't expanded large 
enough, but i like it more than any browser.  It works fine with my 
Royal Bank and TD online banking services.  Once this actually gets a 
final release i believe it will be the best browser.  Now the 
interesting question is.... what's going on with apple and Microsoft?  
I mean apple releases a new browser, presentation software that's 
compatible with office, am i missing something here? Are they in a 
little war or something?
