Also, looks good so far (better than on my mac at home), and although I have not slammed it yet, it does seem pretty snappy.
As to why Apple would do this: easy - iPhone. 3rd party iPhone apps need to be written against Safari/webKit. Have to give the windows developers a version of safari to use. In the end it probably was not that hard since the webkit portion of safari was already part of iTunes.
Kinda cool. The Apple Collective. Prepare to be assimilated.
