Safari 4 is a major update to Apple's browser, and there are several new features to be seen including Top Sites and the Cover Flow display of bookmarks and history.
Apple also touts the speed of the new 'Nitro' JavaScript engine, and a high level of compatibility with web standards.
While those issues provide an incentive to some users, others are habitually wary of ".0" releases and are holding off installation until the inevitable bugs are worked out.
On the other hand, Safari 4.0 included some security fixes that haven't been delivered separately for Safari 3.x.
According to Apple, more than half of the initial Safari downloads were for the Windows version. Apple has been criticised in some quarters for offering Safari along with updates for iTunes and QuickTime for Windows, though the browser is not installed without user interaction.
Dotzler subsequently observed that his analysis of Net Applications' Market Share figures for Safari for Windows use showed that the takeup of Safari 4.0 was offset by a corresponding drop in the numbers for Safari 3.2.
This implies that Safari 4.0 has not attracted any new Windows users.
