As for the font rendering - Apple did basically take the Mac font rendering and port it across to the Windows version. I'm not convinced this is a good thing - there was a whole <a href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000885.html" rel="nofollow">discussion</a> about it on Jeff Atwood's blog a while back. I guess it's what you're used to, how you're machine's set up etc. I guess Safari's not a bad choice if you're a Mac user forced to use Windows, or you're testing for compatibility, but I reckon Opera or Firefox would be a better choice.
