Safari + Windows + Shockwave
June 12th, 2007
For those that missed it a beta of the Safari browser was released for Windows yesterday. The main reason for this (at least at this point) is so Windows users will be able to insure that apps they develop for the iPhone will function correctly (my opinion of course).
I tried viewing Shockwave pages with the browser on two different machines. On one it would ALWAYS crash whenever trying to view a dcr, and on the other machine it loaded correctly about 70% of the time, displayed just a white region 25% of the time, and crashed 5% of the time. Both machines were WXPSP2.
Looks like Apple has a bit more work to do for Windows users.

Given Apple’s past trouble with Shockwave, I am not surprised (though fairly annoyed)

Apple’s idea behind launching safari for windows was the functioning of iPhones appropriately.
Shocking to hear that Shockwave pages didn’t work well on the browser. Apple must work more for their version of Window users.
