Default Safari loaded with bugs

Security experts and users were quick to find numerous bugs in Safari shortly after Apple released this beta browser for Windows.

It is said to have remote code execution bugs and denial of service bugs. A "zero day" exploit was also found.

Some security experts are expecting to see some of the vulnerabilities targeted because in the past Apple has had a negative attitude towards security researchers, according to some security researchers.

Some believe Apple rushed this browser out too quickly but will have fixes for the security problems fairly quickly. But, remember it is beta.

Most agree that Safari is fast, but it is also a memory hog.
