Today sees the first implementation of WebKit on Windows in the form of a new browser called Swift. This could mean more support from developers on a Windows platform and hopefully speed up new feautres into browsers and breath a bit of life back into browser competition.
Swift is currently a 0.1 alpha release after only a week or so since webkit became open source, so hopefully soon it will be in a more usable form.
Those of you on a PC let me know what it's like and how it performs on the Acid 2 test, although as it is using webkit is should pass with flying colours like Safari :)
It may also be worth mentioning Shiira, which is another implementation of webkit on Mac OS X. Version 2 looks awesome and has some really good features. Perhaps this means we may see a version of the PC soon too!

However [...]
Recently at work we have been getting near the end of a project and things started to get a little out of hand. I had lots of bits of paper and Excel spread sheets of bugs and features for the release version which wasn’t exactly very organised.
We then started using FogBugz from fogcreek software and [...]
