That would totally go against Apple's business model. If Apple provided VMs for developers to test with they would lose 92.76%* of their Enterprise market.

That's not a problem. You can find WebKit powered browsers on any platform. It's the same WebKit used in Safari on OS X and iOS.

Now that Chrome is using Blink, what's the best WebKit option on Windows?

Yeah, I'm not sure what lucianmarin is talking about.

PhantomJS for headless testing? http://phantomjs.org/

lol what? The latest Safari version on Windows is 5.x and isn't even distributed officially by Apple anymore. And Safari is a bit more than just Webkit.

> That's not a problem

Yes it is.Without a mac, one can't test websites on Safari.
