I'm not surprised. It's clear they are using newer Windows APIs to offload 2D and 3D rendering among other things. I doubt they'd be able to release a version that didn't run on Windows for those reasons, just like Safari will never run on anything but OS X because it leverages OS X APIs.
- aikinai 11y agoSafari did run on Windows for years. But it did seem like they ported a lot of OS X libraries to Windows just to get it working. If I remember correctly, it had OS X font rendering for example.
- plorkyeran 11y agoiTunes for Windows also takes the same approach of porting the OS X libraries rather than porting the application. It's always kinda weird stumbling across Windows-specific code in the source to things like CoreFoundation.
