Apple announced Safari for Windows today at WWDC. The question most people are asking is why?

I see a few likely reasons:

1. iPod development kits for Windows developers
2. Apple is replacing the iTunes store with something based on web kit
3. Apple wants to be the web platform guys
4. <tin_foil reason="$profit" />

I think #1 is a good enough reason, but any of the rest may have been enough to push them to do it. It’s as good as Opera so far, but not likely to replace Firefox for web development (for me).

Update

It looks like the 37Signals guys came to the same conclusion.
