Safari 4 - Now Shipping In Aero

/me thinks that Safari 4 is awesome, but looks a little like Google Chrome. However, the copying is more than made up for by its sleek design, and the fact that it finally fits in with Windows.

Because normal people don't care about slight UI improvements, here are some noticeable things that Apple have added into Safari 4.

Top Sites 3D Wall

The cool top sites wall thing displays your most visited websites, allowing you to drag around, remove, and of course visit the sites using small thumbnails that expand to fill the whole window when you click on them with a coolio animation.

Bookmark Cover Flow

Just as I thought Apple had milked cover flow as much as they possibly could, they manage to build it right into Safari's bookmark manager. In my opinion it's unnecessary- although I'm not someone who spends long periods of time playing with their bookmarks folder. For those people, I guess it could be okay.

Windows Font Anti-Aliasing

This is something that I think should have been a feature of the Windows version of Safari from the start, but Safari now renders fonts using the Windows ClearType shizzle.
