This came up on the Lasso list.  Not sure how true it is, but John Gruber 
claims Safari currently earns Apple about $2 million per month, and would 
generate much much more with Windows users also using Safari:

"It’s not widely publicized, but those integrated search bars in web browser 
toolbars are revenue generators. When you do a Google search from Safari’s toolbar, 
Google pays Apple a portion of the ad revenue from the resulting page. (Ever notice the 
“client=safari” string in the URL query?)"

I think I need to release my own web browser...
