Apple Safari For Windows

Has anyone tried Apple's Safari for windows?

I've been looking at many of my usual website, and it certainly display's fonts completely differently to IE, Firefox and Opera, and actually appears quite blurry.

Thankfully it's just a beta, so hopefully they should sort out the font issues by the official relase.

I use it off and on on my work computer. Its not super great-the font thing you're seeing is that on the Mac font smoothing is built in to the OS and Safari takes advantage of it natively. When they ported it to the PC they lost the ability to use that font smoothing.
Of course you need to realize the reason for porting Safari to the PC wasn't to take the PC browser world by storm, but rather to allow for a consistent development platform for the iPhone which you may or may not know only uses web apps. The iPhone also runs Safari-so if you want to develop on Windows for the iPhone you need to use Safari to check our your app and see how it looks.
