So, today was WWDC 2007’s opening day. One of the two major events were Apple shows off its latest hardware and/or software. I was following the keynote via Gizmodo’s live blog and wasn’t really all that impressed with all of those Mac OS X Leopard features. Sure, the new desktop looks beautiful and Finder’s gone through an iTunes-like overhaul but overall I wasn’t all that amazed. I mean, iChat STILL doesn’t have MSN support. What’s the deal with that? Sure there are ways to get your MSN contacts on iChat but I don’t like going the Jabber route. Why won’t Apple do it?

Anyway, the one thing that did really surprise me was the announcement of Safari being made available on Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. Wow, I mean where did that come from? Not only was it announced at WWDC, it was made publicly available as a beta on Apple’s site pretty soon after the end of the keynote. Hm, it was first Quicktime, then iTunes and now Safari.

I wonder if there are any other Mac apps en route to Windows.

The public beta is available for Mac OS X Tiger and Windows XP/Vista here.
