“Is Safari coming to Windows? There have been rumors floating around for a while that Apple might be porting its Cocoa language to the Windows platform which would allow WebKit, the engine behind Safari, to run natively in Windows,” Scott Gilbertson blogs for Wired News.
Gilbertson writes, “Now it seems that the Mozilla Foundation thinks a Windows Safari port is a possibility. Buried in yesterday’s tentative Firefox 3 wiki roadmap document is this line: ‘WebKit may be ported to Windows.'”
“With the announcement of the iPhone the possibility of a Window’s WebKit port does seem like it would make sense… Some people think Apple would be better off not porting its software to Windows and keeping the ‘Mac experience’ unique to their own platform, but as Apple becomes less a computer manufacturer and more a device manufacturer it might make more sense to strive for interoperability.”
