Safari: What's the big deal??!!
Pantso:
There is really no reason in porting Safari to other platforms, since the only layer in Safari that is closed-source is the communication layer between the latter and OS X. All of the remaining code will go into future releases of KDE and Konqueror.
Calum:
yes well, in that case there's no reason to make galeon either, or phoenix for that matter. and there's no reason to release netscape, opera or mozilla for windows or macintosh either since internet explorer already exists, and they're all based on mosaic. in fact why don't we just do away with internet explorer too and just use lynx on all operating systems?
in fact why do we even have any operating systems other than windows? there's no point! they're all just copies of unix anyway. we should all just use VAXes and PDP10s with unix on them. in fact, why bother when you can already get TOPS for those machines? what's the point?
</sarcasm>
Personally i believe in progress moving in the traditional direction of forward, and i will await the day when safari comes out for linux with baited breath. it will probably be on the same day that quicktime for linux comes out, and pigs fly and hell freezes over.
and before we hear any "that's off topic stop talking about linux" comments, if i had started this thread it would have gone in the applications section since that's exactly what safari is.

Perhaps you missed the point: Safari IS Konqueror! You won't find anything in Safari that you won't find in Konqueror. Why do you have to make me repeat myself? Anything new that goes into Safari, will go into Konqueror as well! Perhaps, if they changed Konqueror's name to Safari, you people would be happy. :rolleyes: I don't know what else to say.. :confused:

he has a point.
Faust:
If Safari is Konqueror then why rename it?
Damn marketing goons.
