I've been searching through Google for clues to this, but what I am seeing is confusing.
It seems that Apple systems and Windows systems are different, eg on a MAC you get the top loaded tabs in Safari 4, but you may or may not in Windows systems.
I can't find a definitive answer whether Safari 4 on Windows does this, so I fear I must pass on your question.
Sorry.

How do I get the tabs in safari 4.0.5 to be at the top like they are in Google Chrome? All the directions I have seen are for the beta or for a Mac. I am using Windows 7 and would like Safari's tab's to look like they did in the beta.
