Charles Miller makes a great point about Chrome:

Firstly: if you introduce a beta that is largely interesting to nerds, releasing it only for Windows is a mistake. I know I subscribe to a preponderance of blogs by Mac or Linux users, but even I was surprised by the number of Chrome reviews that mentioned having to run it in a virtual machine, or on the old discarded Windows box in the corner.

That was exactly what I had to do - I first tried it under Parallels (with inexplicable results), and then on an older Windows box "in the corner". Given the early adopter mix that Google wants to reach for, I have no idea why they didn't go for Linux and Mac early. Windows? For early adopters? Astonishing.
