The Safari project has crap all to do with "competing" in the browser market. Microsoft EOL'd IE:mac, which effectively left Apple without a browser to ship with their OS. Firefox was not a viable option given that at the time it was (and in many ways still is) a horrible piece of crap, and the code licensing was not something they could work with. Apple had no alternative but to roll their own browser.
Moreover, Safari is considerably faster on a Mac. It was only rolled out in a windows flavor as iTunes needs the webkit underpinnings to work with the music store.

Also, last time I checked Firefox did not...
1. Crash on start-up.
2. Not let the operating system boot because of the new Safari 4 installation.
3. Strange slow-downs and random crashes.
I've been using Firefox for years, so have my friends in the Visual Arts Department at school.
Safari 4 is much more of a "piece of crap" than Firefox is.

Fix your OS install and/or hardware before you blame a piece of software that has absolutely no ability whatsoever to affect any of the above.
