(Is that the way to get out of being accountable for software bugs, just list it as "beta"?) There are some Javascript issues, particularly with Google Calendar and Google Reader, although thankfully at least Javascript works at all in Safari, which it did not do before. And for some twisted screenshot fun, come see me use multiple Safaris on two operating systems at the same time: http://www.castingoutnines.net/2007/06/13/hows-this-for-twisted/ Safari 3 on OS X still seems a little buggy for me, which is fine because it’s a “beta”.

This is still beta software, so bugs are going be out there. Generally, my understanding has been that on the Windows platform particularly there are more vulnerabilities for Internet Explorer than any other browser. That is why I always use FireFox on Windows for my browser, using the "no scripts" plugin (free) except when I'm using websites that require IE.
