Less than two hours after the beta of Safari for windows was released, security engineers found an exploit.
Does this mean that even Apple cant make a secure browser to run on a MS OS or is it the Apple browser thats to fault?

My favourite quote from this is
“On the OS X platform,” he continued, “Apple has enjoyed the same luxury and the same curse as Internet Explorer has had on the Windows platform, namely intimate operating system knowledge.” As a result, Safari for Windows may be expecting other layers of the operating system to provide security – layers which aren’t present on Windows, especially since Microsoft has naturally adapted its transport layer security for optimum use with IE7.
Apples way of passing the blame?
