It is tempting but I'm so used to IE now.

Got any screenshots ?

Not sure but there is a demo available at the bottom of this page: http://www.apple.com/safari/

I'm completely the opposite now, mainly using Firefox over IE. I know that there are some problems with using IE and the UBBthreads software. Certain things like "Preview Post" are a little intermittent and other elements don't work too well such as javascript boxes. I think it's the out-of-the-box security overkill with M$ IE and too many settings to find and change. I have never had a single problem with Firefox and page load times are vastly superior to IE. IE seems to choke itself as well from time to time and needs to be restarted.

I'm a stick in the mud

I know what you mean. I've very much reaching that "can't be bothered" stage but every now and again I take notice of what others are doing and have a tinker myself. Usually worth it in the end.

I think in my case it's more a matter of I've got a browser installed and it works.

My NIS is fully compatible with it and so far I have not attracted any nasties.
