Just tried it on XP. Very fast, as everybody noticed. GUI rather plain at the moment, but that's really not the point. It's only beta after all.

I suggest that people who want to knock it at least read the comic book version of the design document explaining the major goals of Chrome before writing it off as a copycat of anything. If they achieve the goals they have set for themselves, it will be one awesome browser that will improve the Internet for everybody.

No more killing the whole browser because Flash hung in one tab, and losing that banking session. No more malware in one tab stealing info from another tab (they are in separate processes, also good for multi-core CPUs). You can even detach tabs to get a new window and reattach it later. Less fragmentation of memory, kill a tab, every byte of that tab goes back to the OS. Incognito mode where history is not saved, so no one can trawl through your history later and find that you shopped for a birthday present. Fast Webkit rendering engine. Fast V8 Javascript engine, approaching native code speed in some cases. Open source, BSD style license so other browsers and projects (yes even M$) can reuse as much as they like. And more I can't remember off the top of my head. The comic narrative is very readable and entertaining.
