[thelist] Safari on Windows

[Jon Hughes]

It's quite possibly they are going to rely on their status as a media
icon, a "hip company" to gain market share.  I, however, view this as
just one more damn browser we are going to have to find hacks for :(

Just out of curiosity... Can anyone suggest why on earth Apple think
this is a good idea? Do they not think that, between the ubiquitous
Internet Explorer and the free Firefox, the browser market on the PC is
pretty much sewn up? And if there's anything they would like the PC
browser to do that IE and Firefox don't do, what's wrong with plugins or
something?

I'm finding this very puzzling. But then I'm not an Apple expert.
