I remember why ff came out and people said the same thing.. about how it wasnt going to matter...
Aplle doesnt "need" to get into the business world for it to matter. Again go back to ipods, everyone on earth has at least 1 it seems and if you notice Apple obviously is following a very specific plan, I surely wouldnt count them out of this browser race. If you dont want it then fine but why piss on everyones's parade who will use it? Your sites all worked perfectly from ie6-7, then you are one of the lucky few or arent following w3c very much, i guess table layouts might be the way to go eh? Say that apple comes out with a nifty lil gadget on safari for myspace that lets you share your addressbook, songlists, whatever else they come up with on your myspace profile if you are using safari (this is just an exaggerated example) that would instantly give them about how many new users? If you dont support the 3rd largest browser then I am glad i dont have my site done by you guys. You may not see many safari users out there but I sure do. >It won't be significant here; we won't support it, just like we don't >support it on the Mac now.
