No, but I was reading on /. a day or two ago about how they found some significant vulnerabilities with it the same day it was released.

I know is beta but I think i will stick to firefox.
I don't like the fact that it looks like a window in mac OS
I tunes I can deal with but not a browser..

This was the slashdot article:

"David Maynor, infamous for the Apple Wi-Fi hack, has discovered bugs in the Windows version of Safari mere hours after it was released. He notes in the blog that his company does not report vulnerabilities to Apple. His claimed catch for 'an afternoon of idle futzing': 4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities."

I don't know why they are doing this. Safari really isn't that good of a browser. And they don't follow any standards, from the RSS icon to keyboard shortcuts, so it's just gonna confuse the hell out of people.
