Dude, I like!!! This may even replace FireFox on my machine. It seems to load the pages twice as fast and I can see all the animation that FireFox seems to refuse to play. Thanks for the hook-up.

Sup Yall,

Not to be an Apple basher but the Safari browser for Windows is full of security holes. Things that Apple has not yet addressed on the Windows platform. Make sure you have a 2 way firewall (not just Windows Firewall) an an up-to-date virus scanner. Stick with Firefox or Opera.

Must be why it is faster loading. Thanks Pebcak :D

Oh. This was in Maximum PC. It is a program that makes your Win XP machine look like a Mac.

WARNING
Doing this will actually change many features with Win XP. I have installed it and sure enough, it looks and acts like Mac OS-X. I suggest installing on another partition instead of your main. Still, it is really neat :)

Sup Yall,

Set this up on my son's XP box. He was fine with it it drove his Mom nuts. Had to pull it out. Cool tool and a nice 1 shot install for all of the tools. Looks like it needs Administrator rights to work correctly.

As Tommy would say Just use a Mac.
