1 Million Copies of Safari for Windows Downloaded

Safari for Windows has been an instant hit with 1 million copies downloaded within just 48 hours after being released for public beta. The number seems to be quite impressive for a browser that has been heavily criticized for bugs and other security flaws.

So far, nine security vulnerabilities have been discovered and Apple has already issued an update to fix some of these flaws. CNET speculates that it could be security experts or hackers who are searching for security weaknesses.

It might also be Mac users, who love Safari so much that they want to try it on their other PCs at work or at home. In any case, this will certainly kick up Safari’s market share. Current, Safari occupies 5 percent of browser market share, trailing behind Internet Explorer and Firefox.

If you haven’t downloaded Safari, or want to get an updated version, you can get it from here.

  • I differ from the view of Sreejith. In my experience, Safari works lightning fast. Trust me. Images are getting loaded in no time. Interestingly, Gmail works faster than in FF. Any takers?
  • I would say 100,000 curious internet download junkies.

    400,000 or so Apple fans who would like to have the same browser on their PC setups.

    Half a million web designers and CSS hackers who can finally have a Safari install on their Windows machine saying ... #$%@%@% ... One more wonderous new version of CSS compliance to test on!

  • @Shashank
    I think is the same, only the font and the graphic looks like a little blur. May be is the "clear type" effect like in Vista.
  • 1 Million in such a short time!!!Thats amazing.
  • today i read one headline on slashdot that "apple is starting a war which he knows that he can;t win "
