Safari brings "colour-managed viewing" to Windows

Apparently some design and photo types are psyched about Safari for Windows, because (in the words of Rob Galbraith) it "makes practical the colour-managed viewing of photos within a Windows web browser for the first time." It seems that Safari is the first Windows browser able to "properly [display] pictures with embedded ICC profiles" natively. John Nack at Adobe explains a little about what this means, and includes a nice screenshot comparing Safari to Firefox. This is significant both for ensuring that the photos whose colors you carefully tweaked in Photoshop are displayed properly online, and also for getting good prints from online photo services.
