1. WRT Lion, I hate to say Apple is smelling a bit like Microsoft and half baked Windows, but . . . .

2. It doesn't seem to be all that great under Lion, either

I got a new iMac this week and a couple of times Safari has crashed so hard the entire computer freezes and doesn't respond to keyboard commands. Can't force quit, even, so I wind up having to hold down the power button to shut it down. It's crashed while trying to search YouTube (thanks, beta version of Flash) but also when I was trying to view a movie preview on Apple's own site! I went back to Firefox.

3. Which version?

I'm running Version 5.1 (6534.50) on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and it runs flawlessly and never crashes. I often have more than five windows open, some with multiple tabs (I'm a web developer) and it just keeps on working. I've got 14GB of RAM and I'm running my applications off a SSD with my user files on a RAID.

I do quit Safari occasionally; I've heard that if you leave it running for days you can experience memory buffer overflows (or some such problem).
