yeah, thats not working for me either. the proxy settings in IE are predefined and greyed out, presumably by some policy somewhere

I'll try this Safari at home when I get a chance

Only thing I'm not liking so far is that my Norton Internet Security '07 fraud toolbar isn't coming up so... back to IE7 for credit card transactions.

A little help please....i cant seem to figure out a way to make it remember my login info for websites ; am i missing something?
Also whats that spider icon left of the address bar for?

Apart from that it seems nice, cant really make out a speed difference from opera or ie7 but the interface is definitely very clean.

EDIT : Oh well back to opera and ie7 then, this is either unfinished for windows or has too many missing features.

1) Text sizes are messed up. Ex. esato and some other sites load fine but the text on ebay is too small. If i increse it the text on the other sites becomes too big.
2) Wont save any of my preferences?? Also always starts in a non-fullscreen window.
3) If i click on the address bar it doesnt highlight the whole address so i can just type what i want. I have to click on the page icon to highlight everything.
4) I cant seem to find anywhere on the screen where i can click to open a new tab.
5) Cant just type in the address bar (instead of the search box to the right) and it'll just search that string in google. Both opera and ie7 do that.

Are these standard issues or am i having some really bad luck running this on vista? I was kinda liking the whole look and maybe the little speed boost but this makes it unusable for me.

I don't like it at the moment. It's like comparing iTunes on a Mac to the iTunes on Windows. There's quite a difference.

And in this case, the beta is full of bugs. It's slow to start up, it's too resource hungry, the theme doesn't look good on Windows, and it's not as snappy as Firefox/Opera. Crtl-Enter doesn't work either!!!

I have already noticed a considerable increase of the speed when opening pages. Took forever to start though, dont have any of my nice FireFox add ons, foxy tunes etc, and ctrl+enter dont work which is annoying.

I like how it produces the pages though, look more softer

Apple have just released Safari v3.0.1 beta for Windows.

“Apple issued an update to the Safari for Windows public beta today to fix the security vulnerabilities that were reported earlier this week. Beta testers will receive the update automatically through Apple’s Software Update application,” an Apple spokesman told Macworld.

The security improvements in Safari Beta 3.0.1 include correction for a “command injection vulnerability,” corrected with additional processing and validation of URLs that could otherwise lead to an unexpected termination of the browser; an out-of-bounds memory read issue; and a race condition that can allow cross-site scripting using a JavaSscript exploit.

Apple notes that these security issues to do not affect the Macintosh version of Safari 3.
