Downloaded this on home machine running Vista. It feels IE7-ish: big stupid buttons, lots of screen space used in wierd ways.
I haven’t played too long, but it looks like some developer stuff is buried underneath with the Google Gears engine. Can’t wait to play more.
More disturbing is that web page size appears to be ‘enlarged’ somehow. I poked at a few sites I go to all of the time and they all appeared to be magnified. I didn’t see any obvious zoom feature that could be turned off.
My only real concern here is Chrome gets well-adopted (you can bet it will) and then Chrome becomes yet another browser target that has to be specially crafted in web page generation css and html.
We’ll see.
