Now tell me that Apple are not shooting for the developer crowd with Safari for Windows (hint: the screenshot - damn, that's some ugly version of Aqua :-P ).
You should note that Apple is no longer the only entity developing WebKit applications; the S60 browser for Symbian at Nokia, Adobe's Apollo framework, and in the future Konqueror from KDE will be transitioning to WebKitSo yeah, the Windows version of the WebKit inspector isn't all that surprising.
No -- the Activity window is still there, but I think you need to turn on debug mode (via the command line, or editing the .plist file with Property List Editor) to get the Web Inspector. I'm sure they'll make it easier to turn on in the future; they wouldn't spend so much time on something that's hidden away from the user's view.Remember, they're trying to encourage people to use Safari to develop sites that work on Mac and iPhone. They need to have something comparable to FireBug in order to do so.

I wonder which open-source engine is better: Gecko or Webkit?

The 'Activity' window in Safari is the only reason I ever use it.

I love it. It helped me to switch from Firefox to Safari! Go webkit!
