Can you say plugins?  and what about...

<BGSOUND SRC="mp3's/lukesonicweb.mov" loop="infinite" />  safari 
doesn't do it...

also the preferences give me MAJOR control over MANY aspects of IE..  
Safari does NOT.

Also on my kid's computers there's the ratings control...  keeps them 
away from garbage web sites...  not in Safari..  Subscriptions in 
Safari?  Nope.  How well does Safari integrate Java?  Control over 
number of connections? Forms AutoComplete on Safari is lame and 
limiting...

Safari has a Loooooong way to go before i'll rely on it...

And Safari give me ridiculous beach balls just as easily as IE.
