Safari on Windows was never intended to garner market share. It was created so that web site authors that couldn't be bothered to have a Mac could checkout how their site works on Safari. It has succeeded wildly.

Remember, these were darker days. Webkit was the strange thing on the internet. There was no Chrome. There was Konqueror, but the webkits had diverged. You made your site work on IE and Firefox in your preferred order, then after drying your tears with the shredded remains of your schedule gave two minute's thought to making it not obviously be complete rubbish on Safari and maybe Opera.

So of course it sucks on windows.

• It feels like a Mac but in a Windows world which is like speaking English with an outrageously French accent.

• It operates through layers of compatibility designed to identically preserve the Mac behavior above perform well.

• When you come down to it, it is the away team. If the user wanted a Mac experience, they'd have a Mac.
