Safari for Windows- the portal is open

Kevin was all over Steve Jobs yesterday, no not like that, he told us about Apple’s release of the Safari web browser for the Windows platform.  I’ve seen a lot of hoopla about that since the beta version was released and most pundits are thinking the release is to give Apple a Windows connection for the iPhone.  That is probably one of their goals but it seems to me there is another, unwanted, portal that is going to be opened by a Windows version of Safari.  Security exploits.  I think we just may see Safari for Windows become the training wheels for hackers who now have a Windows-based portal into writing exploits that will make it back to the Mac side.  We know there are no shortage of jerks writing browser-based security hacks and now they have Safari to practice with.  Remember where you heard this.
