I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad.
On one hand, it's a good thing because it's yet another browser, and if for some reason, people are not happy with the current selection of browsers, they can try Google Chrome.
On the other hand, it's yet another browser to support (warts and all), especially if you're a web designer/developer, or if your product runs off a web-based UI -- like our own AccessEnforcer.
On yet another hand (you didn't know I have three hands now, did you), Google tends to have pretty interesting ideas on UI design. As a UI junkie, it's always fun to check out new interface designs and explore the rationale on why things are placed the way they are on the UI.
Chrome is supposed to be based on Webkit, the same engine that powers Safari. And we do test AccessEnforcer's UI with Safari pretty intensively internally, so hopefully that means that the transition to Chrome will be seamless.
On not-so-recent news, IE8 beta is out, and so yep that's yet another browser to support.
And IE6 definitely needs to die.. but hopefully only when Autotask is natively usable on non-IE browsers, because we're currently depending on IE6 running on CrossOver in order to access Autotask. :)

I have to say so far I'm enjoying Chrome. Missing a few of my Firefox plugins, but man this thing is FAST.
