	of Service Vulnerability

Are you sure it's wise to waste resources poking  Safari/Windows in
search of flaws?

The thing DOS itself, my machine (vista home premium, braz. portuguese
edition) can't run Safari for more than a few minutes, less, if I try do
actually open a website. 

I'm an Apple fanboy, proud owner of a Macbook, but I think this
abomination is the worst piece of software I ever installed, including
Windows Me and Microsoft Bob.
