I've been occasionally running it to test new CSS and JavaScript.  With the Google name I figure I'll need to support it.  I do the same with IE and Safari, but still prefer Firefox as my primary browser.

I didn't know about the element inspector, so thanks for the tip.  The desktop metaphor is another innovative feature, something like a portal or content management system.  I'm also impressed that each tab launches a separate process (shown in Windows Task Manager), so different applications can have their own address space, which seems like a good idea to me.

Thinks like this solidify the browser as the best virtual machine for the majority of client-based code.
