While I like the idea of Safari taking over IE, I think Firefox has a much better start at this, and adding a third into the mix is only going to subtract from Firefox's lead.

You'll still have to work around all the shite bugs in IE, but don't blame Apple for that. Rather, in a few years when Safari has completely supplanted IE on Windows you can thank Apple that IE is no longer pissing up your leg all day... :) Or, from a Safari-browsing Mac-users perspective, today’s announcement is awesome since it will force developers who have hitherto ignored Safari to take it into account when developing their sites… ;)
