Yes, I am running it on Windows Vista x64, its still have some bugs to work
out but is usable. You will experience rendering problems with a lot of
Internet Explorer based websites. Viewing my Windows Live Space on it is
just horrendous. Right now, its just experimental.

I've read in several places that Safari is a dud. Why waste time on it if
you can have IE7 or Firefox?

It works yes, but it isn't up too much. IE7 or Firefox, or Opera are way
ahead of Safari on Windows.

I very much disagree with that point of view. Opinions that you read
are other people's opinions. They may or may not match your own
opinions. Especially when it comes to web browsers, its easy enough to
try another one to see how you like it. I tried Safari; personally I
didn't like it, but that's no reason why you shouldn't try it for
yourself.

My personal favorite browser is Maxthon. I recommend that you try that
too.

I second Paul Smith's analysis. I tried it, but it didn't blow me away.It
worked on Vista. It became available for Vista and Windows several months
ago.

I've been using Netscape 9 with Vista x64 and I'm quite happy with it.

Oh really, I didn't even know it was out of BETA. I stopped using Netscape
at version 4.72, I still continued to download the later releases and
occasionally tried them out, but got so accustomed to IEs UI and strong
support across the web.
