Net Applications, a firm which tracks browser share and operating system usage, noted in a release Thursday that Safari 3.0 on Windows never
gained much traction, with its share peaking at just 0.07 percent. However, Safari 3.1 on Windows has rapidly muscled gains over the past six weeks,
already tripling Safari 3.0's peak at 0.21 percent.

months to release patches and
updates in response to

14.06.2007Safari 3.0 Install Snafu Cripples Some Macs
Some Mac users who have tried
the three-day-old Safari 3.0
browser beta are hopping mad
at Apple Incorporated because
several notable applications
won't work after installing
the application. Numerous
postings on Apple's
user-to-user support forum
recounted various misfortunes
regarding the new test
release. Only hours after
Safari 3.0's launch, users
were reporting the browser not
launching along with Cocoa,
iTunes, Coda, Adium and other
applications failing to start.
Some users went as far as
saying they would never use
Safari again. Apple
representatives did not post
any official support
information on the Safari 3.0
for Mac forums, which since
Monday's release has received
nearly 1,500 messages.
A common
characteristic was that the
Safari installer had crashed
part-way through the Safari
installation, or the user had
done a forced quit after the
installer appeared to hang. In
all cases, WebKit framework
files were corrupted by the
failed install. WebKit is the
open-source application
framework used by Safari,
Apple's Mail e-mail client,
the Adium instant messenger
and other Web-centric
software. Some users got their
machines back in working order
by extracting the necessary
files from an earlier
operating system update, while
others sniffed out that the
older files were intact, but
had been moved on the drive.

from session to session, so you would need to reset the User Agent for each new session that you want to check your Hotmail account.
