Safari 4 won't come out of beta until Snow Leopard is released.

Well, that was bollocks - it was released yesterday, and it's very shiny and very quick.

Talking of rendering, does IE still screw up transparent colours?

..but what's with the 'beta forever' concept that has crept in and seems to be the norm for systems at present?

I take that back, well done Apple for actually getting some software out the door. It has some nice ideas and it does appear rapid, but I don't like it at the moment..it might grow on me.

Thanks for this - downloaded IE 8 and it is a big improvement over 7

The only thing I don't like about it is the load progress thingy. I'd got used to not seeing it and now it's come back I find it distracting.

Agreed. IE8 is a very good browser indeed I reckon, now.
