Safari for Windows?

Apple should leverage Safari to drive development of a standards based web, according to The Sydney Morning Herald: "Apple, along with KHTML, Opera and Mozilla, may have two or three years to innovate on the browser front, without any competition from Microsoft.

Meanwhile, a review of Mac browsers says the Safari still leads the pack unless you need specific features offered by others.
