Pundits are Morons
I'm really getting tired of headlines like this:
Apple picks a fight it can't win or comments on the most recent Macbreak Weekly 44 by Leo Laporte who assumes Apple is releasing Safari for Windows so that they can lock in people to proprietary browsers.
What is it with these people? Why are they that stupid?
The entire point of Safari for Windows is one simple thing.
The iPhone.
If you're expecting the only applications available to third party developers to be written for the browser on the iPhone, you're going to need an environment to prototype and test it in.
That would be Safari on the machine you're developing on, not on the iPhone. That'd get really old to code, pick up a device, download the code, test it, watch it bow up, be unable to really debug. If you're a Mac developer, no problem. But if your the other 94-95% of the planet running a computer, you're running Windows.
That's it, it's not some rabid plot to take over the world ala Pinky and the Brain, it's a development platform.
