Apple plans to release a version of its Safari Web browser for Windows, CEO Steve Jobs announced in his keynote speech at Apple's World Wide Developer Conference. Jobs made it clear that despite the company's increasing focus on devices such as the iPod and the upcoming iPhone, it remains committed to competing in the PC market.

Safari is the third most popular browser used on the Web, Jobs says, with about 5% market share--even though it is only currently available for Macintosh users. Apple will distribute Safari with the other Windows software the company produces: its iTunes jukebox, which has been downloaded some 500 million times.

Much of Jobs' presentation focused on Leopard, the company's forthcoming update to its Mac OS. One of the key new features of the operating system is a program called "Boot Camp," which lets Mac users choose either the Mac or Windows OS when they start up their computers. Jobs also says that the world's largest independent videogame maker, Electronic Arts, is going to bring more of its top games--including Madden football and Tiger Woods golf--to the Mac.
