I had the developer preview of Safari running and decided to go back to the version of Safari that came with the Leopard install. I deleted the old version of Safari and now can't seem to figure out how to get the old version back (short of an Archive and Install).

I'm using FireFox in the meantime but it feels like a port of the Windows version. The user interface elements are very Windows-like; Aqua is nowhere to be found. Ugh.

Safari is one of the components that can be reinstalled from your Leopard disk, Custom Installation.

Well, the developer disk image had an uninstall app that would restore Safari back to what it was before you installed the preview version.

^^ What 64stang06 said, the uninstaller would care about it. Easier & faster.
