Early days yet. It still has trouble rendering the Acid3 web standards test, I've heard, with a score of 77/100. Not good - yet.
The feature rundown reminds me of a lot of niceties already found in Opera - without the properly-integrated IMAP/POP3 webmail client that Opera sports. I guess that webmail will just appear later on as a web application as they intend - and i hope that's not GMail which I refuse point blank to use. I don't want my email cataloged by a search engine thanks.
I'm in two minds about Google - their intent here is to knock Windows off the shelf, and replace that OS with a web-based OS of some sort. Given that it's an open source project, that may not be a pipe dream for very long, as you could build a bootable Linux distribution that supports the browser - and even that could boot off the web with a small bootstrap routine. How much power is Google after? Scary stuff.
