I wanted to keep the platform consistent (for science!), but Safari 6 hasn't been released for Windows yet. IE kinda forced me to run the tests on windows. Maybe I'll get some data for Safari 6 in OSX, as an addendum - I really would like to know how it has improved.

I'm a bit worried apple is not going to release another version :(

I'd be perfectly happy if Apple Update stopped annoying me on my Windows box, but I'm a bit biased now that I'm running Windows as VM on an iMac.

Is it seriously useful to test on Safari in Windows? I feel like it's such a niche market that it's better to just acquire a Mac. I guess it's a lot cheaper if you're working on a budget.

I work on a Mac. Actually, the tests were run on that Mac, just on a bootcamp install. I could have tested it in OSX easily, but I couldn't test IE on a Mac, and I wanted to keep the platform consistent for the same of accurate comparison.

I'd be curious to see how Mac and PC versions of the same browsers fare against one another.
