I would of course, but I still think a functional Final version of it is a ways out yet. We'll see.

I'm more interested in seeing what Google will pull out of the hat as far as a well functioning operating system.. hopefully one that will play Windows games.

I'm using it now.. I really like it, although I need my addons for Firefox...

The ability to expand the text box I'm replying in right now is awesome!

It's alright. I kinda like the look, but i hate the fact that there is no way to manage bookmarks. The bookmarks appear when you first open up chrome, but after you navigate from the home screen, you can't access your bookmarks.

They assume that you want to view bookmarks to go to another site (a reasonable assumption) and they have reversed the process. Instead of going to your bookmarks and click on one and having it open in a new tab, you open a new tab and there are your bookmarks...

If you prefer the old way, you only have to enable "always show bookmarks toolbar".

His problem is that by default tha "Other Bookmarks" link is only there when you first open Chrome. As soon as you go to a site, the "Bookmarks Toolbar" disappears. The solution is to clck on the little "+" sign by the tabs to open a new tab (which always has the Bookmarks Toolbar on it) or set in options "Always show Bookmarks Toolbar". I think once I got used to it I would like it the default way, as the screen is cleaner without the toolbar there all the time.

I do like how clean it looks without the toolbar.

First problem I have found is how it handles an intranet. My link to the State intranet is handled as a download. I am at home now so I don't have a way to play around with it.
