    Just read the review of Safari 3 on ars technica. This caught my eye: Safari 3 for Windows inherits one of the most aggravating failings of the Mac OS X window manager: windows can only be resized from the bottom right corner. Wow! That would be annoying! Read more...

    Best wishes, Hans

        Yeah, it is :mad: It also seems to be slower (downloading content) than IE7, but faster rendering pages :confused:

            quicktime is the same way. I don't use it, but they probably did the same with iTunes. Apples goal seems to focus more on making their app perform identically cross platform than meeting interface standards on the target system. X|

            It's amazing how they'll roast you alive for not following the Mac visual guidelines and then go out of their way to not follow others visual guidelines. Not that hypocrisy from corporations surprising :P

              Full screen. Resizing windows is for the OCD.

                Tell me about it. I'm having an organizational UI standard forced on me here at work. The people defining the standard are a bunch of Java/Mac jocks, even though the majority of the products that are being reworked are Windows apps. Needless to say, you can guess what the standard looks like :rolleyes:.

                  The entire UI aggravated me so much that I uninstalled it before I even noticed the bad text rendering.

                    At first when I read this I was boggled that any consumer OS would not support "resize anywhere". Then I realized the implication: on Windows, Safari 3 must have special code that inhibits "resize anywhere", and I was even more boggled!

                      Maximise it on a second monitor and it disappears. Still there in the task bar but nowhere to be seen

                        Funny because I hate that Windows windows (!) can be resized from all edges. I never run any windows in full screen mode so when I have to move them around I some times accidentally resize them - unbelieveable annoying! I guess perhaps that's why the Apple UI is like that (since on Apple you almost never run apps in full screen mode).


                        "When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, `Who is destroying the world?' You are."
                        -Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand
