The big news, of course, is that Apple’s releasing Safari on Windows — and although it’s been a rough first few days for them (and will get rougher), more choices are generally good for users, and so I’m hopeful that they can work to produce a product of quality on Windows eventually. I’m quite fond of Firefox, of course, and am very happy that people everywhere in the world continue to adopt our browser in increasing numbers.
iTunes for Windows worked for (at least) two reasons. The first is that people had iPods and needed something to organize their music with on their Windows PC. The second is that it’s a pretty good music player in general. A lot of the people I know who use iTunes in Windows aren’t iPod users.
I can’t see why anyone would switch from any browser in Windows over to Safari. Firefox users are generally pretty loyal, and if the greatness of Firefox can’t sway IE users, Safari sure as hell won’t.
