Mac Safari for Windows

In case you were not aware, Apple released their browser, Safari, for windows last week. They reported there was over 1 million downloads in the first 48 hours.
You might consider giving it a try. They report that Safari is 1.6 times faster than Firefox in HTML performance, javascript performance, and application launch. With some basic browsing over the weekend at home I noticed a pretty big difference.

Here are some of the features I have come to love in Firefox that are missing in Safari; hopefully they will be added soon.

They have a built in google search box but it doesnt provide suggestions (which I use all the time).
Safari doesnt support the ability to close a tab with my mouse wheel click (I hate right clicking).
No CRTL + ENT or CRTL + ALT + ENT to automatically complete keywords like wikipedia to http://www.wikipedia.org.
When you click in the url, the url doesnt highlight. It just places the cursor where your mouse was instead of highlighting the whole url.
Most importantly its missing the highly valuable restore session feature.

I couldnt consider seriously using safari, no matter how fast it is, until it supported a majority of these features that have made me an addict of firefox.
