Webware: Apple apps on Windows...not so great.

Rafe Needleman thinks that the current batch of Apple apps on Windows isn't as impressive as Apple makes it out to be.  He also thinks it is a ploy to convert more Windows users (a point I agree with).

He points out that Safari is not an application people need use:

"Yet they will, and some will be smitten by Safari's unobtrusive design, fancy roll-up interface features, and possibly its speed. They'll wonder why their Windows PC doesn't have the same (non-Windows) look and feel. And they'll think, If only I had a Mac, then all my apps would be this nice."

and goes on to make the more important point:  "But if Apple was really serious about bringing good apps to the PC, it'd release good PC versions of iLife and Final Cut for Windows."
