If they were really looking for a way into leveraging Windows as a development platform for desktop and mobile platforms they would embrace/extend Silverlight. This looks like a day late and a dollar short of a strategy. I think you’re overestimating this.

At least I can tab to checkboxes and buttons with Win Safari, unlike on the mac (in both safari and FF, seems to be a mac thing). Everywhere but the mac, logins are username [tab] password [tab] rememberme [space-to-check] [tab] submit [space-to-press]. On the mac I have to leave the keyboard and navigate the mouse to the checkbox and button.

(even thought it's ok if you have a US or Canadian English OS) some screenshots here http://heri.madmedia.ca/articles/2007/06/11/new-safari-for-windows-full-of-bugs for me, safari for windows is the worst product apple has released in a couple of years. it can’t handle international characters like french, italian or dutch websites.

It’s hard to displace the default. I was GM of Netscape, so I have some first hand experience in this....
