Safari for Windows

Swift is the first WebKit based browser for Windows - WebKit is the rendering engine behind the popular Mac browsers Safari and Shiira.

You can download the current alpha release from the website; although the last time I checked, the download seemed to be unavailable. This is probably due to bandwidth limits being exceeded - I notice Ann van Kesteren has just linked to the site and Vitamin linked there earlier (which is how I discovered it myself).
