Nope! 
Reading fonts in Safari beta for windows are just ugly.
The fonts look blurry and unsharp compared to how the fonts look like in:
IE, Firefox, Opera, Netscape. Where they all look the same.

And then WHAT IS THE REASON for Safari developers to make the fonts look
different in Safari than in the other browsers?
Why do you make it so hard for web-developers to make web-pages look the same 
in most used browsers out there.
You just made it pretty much impossible!

How can you state that those blurry unsharp looking fonts are better than how
they are rendered in the other browsers?
Take a look at 
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1188
and see all the complaints about the blurry looking fonts.
Why do you think there is so many complaints? Definitely not because people
like them!
