Apple's Safari on wrong route
News about Apple's Safari for Windows caught many's attention and everyone was wondering what was Steve Jobs' intention behind it. Apple tries to play an intelligent game here, which will prove futile soon. Already there have been many criticisms on the security vulnerability of Safari browser for Windows. The beta version is simply not yet mature enough to fit into Windows.
Hackers were able to break the browser's security within 2 hours of it's release. More than 6 critical flaws were discovered within a day of it's release.
Now, what is that Apple trying to do? Is it trying to tighten the competition for Internet Explorer? Or, is it trying to eat up some Firefox market? IE is used in not less than 95% of the computers worldwide. Firefox is still finding it very hard to compete with IE in all aspects. Apple's move on Safari is not surprising. In a era where people started appreciating Apple's success in the Music and Entertainment field, Steve wants to release as many products as he can to cash in.
You might remember Apple released Apple TV couple of months ago, which is just a Set Top Box with no single special feature apart from regular basic ones. But yes, it was a White colored Box. Apple also tries to get into the Mobile phone market with Apple iPhone as well, but yet to find huge success.
All one can say is that Apple is trying more than it is capable of, just betting on its User Interface which will not reap success in the long term for them.
