(So impressed am I that I'm now using it as my default browser!) What's that got to do ETL/BI ? Well, its the fastest browser I've ever used; the new V8 JavaScript engine really improves the performance of web apps like GMail, Google Docs etc. Hastening the day when we datasmiths might be able to free ourselves from the last reason stopping us from abandoning client-side apps i.e. a workable web-based replacement for Excel!

Happy to see you get the "influencer" status in the ETL circles (which is right). Regards, Sean I can always count on you to help me add more stuff to “need to check this out” list.
