Apple Safari in Windows

I saw an RSS feed this morning about apple coming up with a windows version of safari. so the first thing i wanted to do when i stepped into office this morning was to evaluate it...
i got a shock when i heard about its features.

it has 12 great features ... apple advertises on all these .... apple thinks that these are the features that you will need to switch from your traditional browser to safari.

here is the list from their website.

1. Blazing Performance
2. Elegant User Interface
3. Easy Bookmarks
4. Pop-up Blocking
5. Inline Find
6. Tabbed Browsing
7. SnapBack
8. Forms AutoFill
9. Built-in RSS
10. Resizable Text Fields
11. Private Browsing
12. Security

all of them seem to work great. until for one small issue....

the apple safari on windows will not render text in any form menus, dialogs, buttons, pages,etc...

here is my one feature vs steve jobs' 12... why should i use a browser which will not render text....

have a first glimpse of safari screen from my notebook....
