They had to know what was going to happen, despite mgmt likely needing this for some iphone or itunes roll-out this summer. Then again, outside of our circles, not many people really give a rip... With this whole "persistent beta" thing going on these days (led by Google), I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple keep Safari for Windows "beta" for 5 years as their excuse. : It's weird that Apple did this.

Here's a quote from the Safari web site: "Apple engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one." When you make a claim like that, you need to back it up - Apple still has to prove its approach to security is getting better and this release of Safari did not help their security record. BTW, at least one of the researchers that found a security hole said he was actively looking for bugs because of that 'secure from day one' claim.
