That could be the case. Some websites use proprietary MS technology that doesn't work in any other browsers, and that is a very bad thing. Some banking sites, airline tickets, etc. I was once buying airline tickets through a major airline website, got to the end of the process, and it didn't work (on Safari). I had to launch IE and start all over again.

I like Safari the best but it doesn't work properly with THIS messageboard under OS X Tiger. All messages are marked read as soon as you open the first topic. IE 7 on the PC works okay here. Safari on OS X Panther works flawlwssly on this site while IE 6 on the PC marks all messages read as soon as you open the first topic. Go figure....
Firefox feels like a kludge to me on both the Mac and PC. Just not very polished at all.
Doing taxes at the H&R site over the weekend and everytime I got to the very end of the process Safari would crash. Finally moved over to the PC and IE 7 and BINGO....worked great.

Checking code with windows in mac
I use safari in OS x about 90% of the time. If I find a website that it won't work with I use firefox. But to put into account that 99% of the internet uses IE on windows I still like to double check websites I've made with a windows XP box with IE 6 or IE 7. If that's too much trouble or if you don't have a windows box you could dual boot winXP on an intel mac or run windows in a virtual machine. All depends how much website checking you need to do. Although I've seen the push for everyone, in the chique website design world, to layout their pages only using CSS. I've seen too many problems and keep using tables to layout my pages still. Until IE either looses ALOT of usage or IE becomes standards compliant with CSS I'm gonna have to keep laying out pages as if they were coded for IE4 and Netscape 4.6.

Firefox at work and home, PC and Mac.. although I have been irritated lately with its speed... has felt really clunky.

Haven't played with Firefox but I will.

Thank you all for the feedback... very interresting, I was fishing for Camino usage and it morphed into a Firefox affirmation. I still say give Camino a try!
