Indeed.

I do look forward to trying out the thing on Linux, once they have a
working port of it.  The various things that they have the thing
designed to do sound interesting, particularly on non-Windows systems
(the whole one-process-per-tab deal is cool, though it's expensive on
Windows systems at 5 million CPU cycles to start a new process).  I
would enjoy having a browser with a faster JavaScript engine, as well,
and supposedly the engine they used is significantly faster.  That'll be
the thing that helps it get up there, if anything, I think---faster
JavaScript will mean that fully-featured async Web apps that support the
desktop paradigm will become more feasible.  :-)
