Wohoo, that works under Windows now too. Apple really paid a lot of attention to details &#8211; they recreated crazy Safari input elements (which don&#8217;t go well with Vista theme), they replicated &#8220;falling windows&#8221; animation OS X style inside the configuration tabs etc.  <\/p>\n<p>However, although I respect Apple for making such a nice Windows port, it just can&#8217;t beat superior speed of Google Chrome or extreme extendability of Mozilla Firefox.
