No no, look at the red bar. It's rendering it incorrectly combined with a shitty coded theme.

Mobile Safari itself is awesome to browse with when it renders as intended. You'd be surprised how easy it is to surf on that thing.

Technicalities, technicalities... I was thinking Virtual PC.

You're still running the entirety of Windows XP on there, whereas WINE is a free version of the API... see what I mean when I said it'd get messy? Time to edit the rules...

The idea is browsers, not really OS flavors. I mean, we could run Firefox on a billion different flavors of Linux for example.


EDIT: I also nominate we remove the "last post" wins as it'll make people hang onto a "winning move" until late in the game (ex: my iPod). I think it's a lot more fun just to see what people can come up with honestly.

^ So how come people have posted Firefox on a variety of OSes in here?

Whatever, I guess I won't play along.

Exactly. I'd still count it, but the more obscure the better (at least once the obvious ones are used up. There's one big name I still haven't seen that I used to use for years).

And I don't mean to drive anyone away, but if I don't draw the line somewhere we'll have people using VMWare in Windows to run Mac OS and Parrallels Desktop back to Windows etc etc
