I think Safari for Windows isn't really something that Apple cares if people use much. It's not like they make much money for it directly. But it does mean that designers who work on Windows can test for Safari compat without the expense of a Mac, which greatly increases the chances of websites being tested on Safari.
I agree, Chrome for Windows is a lot better than Safari. On my Mac, I use Chrome and Safari about 50-50 (my RSS feeds are still in Safari, which is a large part of why I still use it). Chrome's extensions have been making me slowly drift towards Chrome, but there are still some Safari features I find nice (like Reader, Safari's adaptation of the Readability bookmarklet).

- code_duck 16y agoYeah, that's the thing - Apple doesn't seem to care whether people on Windows use Safari, even though they took the time to make decent version of it. Google, on the other hand, really wants Windows users to use Chrome. I'm exactly the same, 50-50 Safari/Chrome when using my Mac. Well, plus maybe 3% Opera and 5% Firefox. I mainly like Safari's Top Sites page, it's pretty slick.
