For the people who love the anti-aliasing with the text on Macs, the beta of Safari 3 has surprisingly provided it. Though it's also much to my chagrin because it's so fuzzy and I end up squinting when I don't need to. There are settings to set the darkness or lightness of the text though that doesn't help much.

Safari

Firefox

Love my Mac :D Wish we had them at work. I'm not too fond of Safari for Windows, but then I don't like using it on my Mac either.

It's Mac that had the deal. Give them a call and say you're a student, they'll give you a flat 10% off plus they do a load of offers, like free iPod or software

Yay! I just want a Mac to go surfing because I saw ComicVine on a Mac and you can see that this site was made for it.

From memory, the anti-aliasing on Safari for Windows has a lower quality than on a true Mac. This is coming from someone who uses a CRT monitor but Macs also used to have CRT monitors so yeah. It could be Safari itself.

My dad has an eMac, they have CRT monitors and the site looks fine on his. I'll do a screen-cap when I get home and post it up

It's hard to say because this is a pretty old CRT monitor and resolution comes into play too.

Why, they are most certainly not all created equal.

Guys, I am pretty serious about these OS wars. It gets started from ignorant and arrogant postings. Can we please post about Safari (if you have anything to say about it)?

True, sorry. Safari isn't really that great a browser, it's kind of blank and functionless, though some of the chaps I work with seem to love it

I wasn't trying to start a war. Note the absence of preference that I posted. Just saying that it is incorrect to assume all operating systems equal. Otherwise yea I like Safari alright, but I like Shiira. It is built off of Apple's webkit so it runs much the same as Safari but adds interesting features that Safari has not yet adopted.
