That’s why they call it a beta version.

I won’t be getting it until it goes final and probably, also, one revision past final. Then it will be stable and holes will be plugged.

Windows hasn’t had a Safari browser before and thus it will always have bugs when it’s first worked out in a new OS environment (i.e., Windows).

It’s going to be necessary for Safari on Windows because of Safari being necessary for the iPhone and how developers will be able to work with iPhone. Thus, they are coming out with it now, to get ready for it.

It’s not just going to be Apple Macintosh people who get iPhones, but Windows people who get it, too.

Gee, you must have not really read the article either. If you had, you would have read this:

I can't speak for anybody else, but the bugs found in the beta copy of Safari on Windows work on the production copy on OS X as well," he said in a posting on the Errata site. "The exploit is robust mostly thanks to the lack of any kind of advanced security features in [Mac] OS X."
