I've actually switched back to using Safari until FF3 comes out for final release. As it is, the beta has a few too many unresolved issues for my taste. (You'll note the fact I'm not decrying this, at it is a beta product at this point.)

I haven't used Safari in Windows, as I don't have a PC, and wouldn't choose to run Windows on it even if I had one, so I can't vouch for how well (or not) it works in Windows. However, I'm glad to see Apple reaching out in this way.
 
Safari for Windows is alright. My only complaints is the slower start up time (compared to OS X) and its fugliness (the bleached-out menus look horrible).
 
Don't hate me but on my windows machine, I only use IE7. I used firefox for so long but I just recently started to have problems with it. If I ever try to download something, it usually gets about half way through and then quits. I downloaded the Safari beta but it won't even load a web page. So, I'm stuck with IE7.

Have you tried something else, there are plenty of browsers out there. Maybe try Opera or Flock. Both of those are better than IE7 IMO. But it's your browsers, it's your choice.

It's already pretty much out. I've been using Firefox 3.0b2 for several weeks now and I absolutely love it. I'm not sure what they changed, but this version of Firefox is much faster and it feels like a native OS X application instead of some dumbed down Windows port. In my opinion, Firefox 3 is the new king of OS X (and Windows, Linux, etc.) browsers.

Yea beta2 is really stable and fast. I would say that it's pretty much the same as the final release is going to be.
