Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7
Bobcat writes "Ars Technica has a 'first look' at Safari for Windows, which is interesting because it's written from the perspective of someone new to Safari. It was tested against Firefox 2 and IE7 and aside from the slightly faster page loading, Ars didn't find much to recommend it to Windows users. 'The modest increase in rendering performance is hardly worth the deficiencies, and Safari's user interface simply doesn't provide the usability or flexibility of competing products. If the folks at Apple think that providing Windows users with a taste of Mac OS X through Safari is going to entice them to buy a Mac, it's going to take a better effort than the Safari 3 beta. Even if the final release is more polished and completely bug-free, it still won't be as powerful or feature-loaded as Opera or Firefox.'"
Um, that's not the point of why I said "view in Safari".
This isn't about apps being only tied to Safari in some magical way, or being "prevented" from running elsewhere. It's the opposite: making sure they run right in Safari, since the iPhone's browser is (essentially) Safari.

Whatever. Switching from KHTML to Gecko would be a good start.
How we know is more important than what we know.
