Safari is much better now an it was under Lion. I believe in all the platforms although at home I only use windows for Scanning, the occasional web site if Safari can't handle it. I'm no wiz on the Mac but one can only do their best and I learn something new using the Mac all the time. I am using windows at work because I havea no choice as I'm a braille transcriber.
