Safari's a bit of an enigma

I'm on 10.3.9, so Safari is stuck at 1.3.2 and I would have to upgrade the whole OS to get the latest goodies. Or use FireFox or Camino. Another problem is the Java support; stuck on 1.4 unless I upgrade the OS ... This is a bit more understandable as Apple implement their own version so that it is compatible with Aqua. Somewhat annoying - Apple: love the product; hate the company ...

Yeah, as I understand it, the public sector has a mandatory requirement to be inclusive. And it's a good thing in my opinion - it's perfectly possible (if a bit more costly) to develop good web sites/applications for cross-platform use - just follow standards! Although I understand some versions of IE have a problem with that ...

        I guess it comes down to costs and benefits. You may remember the Ford Pinto (NCFC) - Hull Canary, Oct 19, 23:20:57
        
        The Pinto also never sold well in Brazil. (NCFC) - Arganth, Oct 19, 23:25:30
