Safari Browser Makes A Splash (In The Toilet) on Windows PDF Print E-mail

safariSure to be a big embarrassment for the Job's crowd, quite literally within hours of release of Apple's Safari Browser for the Windows platform, security researchers found gaping security holes. This just reinforces our assertion that the reason why Mac, Linux, and other alternative platforms are safer are because they are obscure targets and not because they are intrinsically safer. Welcome to the internet! :P Betanews reports...

It took security engineers perhaps less than two hours yesterday to introduce Apple's surprise entry in the field of Windows browsers to the big, cruel world of exploits and vulnerabilities, following its introduction yesterday morning at WWDC. As a result, much of the clout Safari had received as the secure browsing alternative to Internet Explorer and Firefox -- as long as it was on a Macintosh -- was burned off like fire to a flash fuse.
