Hmm.. I thought Apple software didn’t have bugs.
Let’s also not forget that this is a *Beta* version of Safari/Windows.
Or should I mention all the bugs that are in the *release* version of IE?
Apple software doesn’t have bugs, they are “New Apple ‘Jobs,’” users will have to pay Apple for to get fixed.
Apple software has always had bugs, just like any software has bugs. I don’t think you’ve ever heard any Macintosh user that has said that Apple Software doesn’t have any bugs. You’re simply putting up a straw man — so to then falsely knock it down...
There isn’t a single piece of software that has ever been made that has not had bugs in it.
However, what Apple software has done is integrate its software so that it works very well with other pieces of its software. And, it has less bugs than many other types of software out there, plus it has an excellent user interface — a user interface consistency that carries across the broad spectrum of its software, including those made by other developers (since they adhere to that same consistency).
In fact, for Macintosh software, it’s been a point of pride for a lot of Macintosh users to never have to read a manual because the software was intuitive enough to use without cracking open that manual. Most people, on the Macintosh will never have to refer to a manual since it’s so intuitive to use.
And, on the level of OS X it’s much more secure — in actual “real life” and “in practice” (where people actually use it every day) — than on the Windows side of things.
Here is another area where Macintosh users have never said that vulnerabilities don’t exist. What has been said is that it’s much better to have zero operating viruses on the Macintosh platform (and operating system) than the 114,000 Windows ones.
I’ve run Macintosh operating systems from 1986 to the present. In all that time, I’ve only encountered one virus — ever — and that was in 1990. Since 1990, I’ve never run into a single virus, while sharing disks, files, being on the Internet, downloading all sorts of files and so on. I do run a anti-virus program and it hasn’t ever popped up with a single “peep” of a warning about a single Macintosh virus. I really don’t expect to see one pop up any time soon. Being that I’ve only seen one virus in 21 years of Macintosh operating systems give me great confidence in the next 10-20 years of Macintosh operating systems.
So, for all practical purposes, you could say that there aren’t any “bugs” (i.e., viruses) in the Macintosh OS X operating system, no matter what someone wants to try and say. They simply don’t exist. As far as software bugs, vendors will keep updating their software and keep fixing whatever pops up, but that’s a far cry from viruses.

“There ain’t no bugs on me...”
Anything built to run on a crappy platform like Windows is going to have flaws. Personally, I would never run Mac software on a PC, or Windows on a Mac. There’s no need to.
Keep getting in digs at Macs, you homosexual. You’ll just keep looking like a damn fool.
