What's under the Shiny Chrome?

Google's launched their latest we're not trying to go after MSFT product called "Chrome". Here's their description of the product ..

Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.
Now that I've installed and used the product a little bit, here are 3 things on the top of my mind.
  1. Its not compelling enough (yet) to make me switch from FF.
  2. The current EULA will make it next to impossible for use in a compliant enterprise.
  3. Does this mean web coders will now have yet another fork in their code saying "If Chrome .. do this ... else".

Update:

Haha .. I find it ironic that when I accessed my Hotmail account from Chrome I got this message.

Not sure if its just a caching issue or what but it sure is ironic.
