During the past year, I've been involved with a project that is heavy 
with JS. We tried Chrome (on Windows) as soon as it was released and were 
amazed at the speed improvement - although JS was very buggy early on. 
And this was in comparison to Windows' firefox, which is far better 
behaved than the linux version.
