Safari for Windows Downloaded Over 1 Million Times

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the popularity-contests dept.

ClaraBow writes "Apple reports that it took Apple just two days to reach 1 million downloads of its newest Safari Web browser for Windows. If these downloads manifested into regular Safari users, then we just might have a third major browser on the Windows platform. If Safari can obtain a 10% market share on Windows, then it would further weaken IE's position and give standards-based browsers more leverage with developers."

    Based on your data, they should just release Firefox 6000, then the browser wars would be over.

    Apparently you didn't read the fine print which states: Upon downloading this browser you may not avoid Steve Jobs reality distortion field and Safari will be the best browser you've every used and the only one you will use on windows.
