Safari For Windows?

My initial reactions to having Safari on Windows was "ok.... wtf?!?!" type deal. It's just simply weird that Apple is now spilling so many applications and dedication for the latest version on their competitor's operating system (Windows). However, Microsoft doesn't do the same. Microsoft Messenger on the Mac is a severely cutdown version of Windows Live Messenger. There's no game nor webcam support. Webcam support has now become a standard for instant messaging

He He...firefox Supporting Microsoft

Go to firefox and type "http://http" (Without Quotes) You will be automatically taken to the Microsoft website. This left me a bit confused at best. I soon figured the reason. Apparently Firefox uses Google's "I'm feeling Lucky" option for a word after "http://" Now the first result is Microsoft's website. Now google for some reason feels that "http" has got something to do with microsoft. How's that??

Skype:

I'm just curious as to how secure Skype really is, because it's the latest buzz going around, to have Skype and how it's so much more secure than other chat/VOIP clients. How much of this is fact, and what is hyperbole? From googling it, and reading what i could find, it seems that it has a relatively robust encryption scheme, but that it's a blind area as it's proprietary software and hasn't been looked over by third parties for holes.
