Interesting article on the crashes. I'm trying to put Safari through as
many paces as I can using articles on it to mod it, etc. So far it works
flawlessly, but I'm in US so I can't speak to other languages or countries.
As to security, I'm not too worried.

You're not worried about security?

In the interest of fairness, the researcher crashed it. He didn't say it
was
definitely an exploitable bug.

I don't see it being twice as fast as IE. In fact, just the opposite is
true for me.
IE7 beats Safari on every Website I visit. Of course, Safari is just a beta
so
we'll see if the release version without debugging code lives up to the
hype.

Hmm.. The Safari browser crashes on the flash/shockwave test page.

So has IE 7/Vista RTM been crashing often with the event viewer error
attributing it to Adobe Flash (Adobe bought Macromedia).
