Tried it a little yesterday, so far I like the speed, omni box and the start page is alright too. Read the whole comic and what they say makes a lot of sense but I am not a developer per se. I don't mind the memory usage as that's what it is there for. I like the seperate process idea, makes sense to me. As time passes it will have more user created add-ons and better features just like FF. So far a
from me on this beta.
Sadly this will do nothing to take users away from IE and only split those who already use an alternate browser. As a web designer I don't need another browser to hack away at code for. I haven't had any issues yet with it and since it's still beta I'll reserve my comments. But I hope I don't need to be thinking about more compatibility problems when it goes mainstream.
