Any one notice that Chrome on Ubuntu is more material design than on Windows?

It's subtle but it's there. The hamburger bar is a vertical line, the tabs are more angular and some of the button do the material design press animation.

When is this coming to windows!!!
 
I noticed this last night, been putting off some updates and it went on. I really like it, the home, refresh and page back / forward are a lot sharper as well.

Rarely do browser changes impress me or are even worth mentioning, this one was though.

##Chromium
##Version 51.0.2704.79 Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit)

It's already with Windows if you use the Developer version (53.0.2783.4 dev-m currently), or it certainly is in terms of the angular tabs and vertical hamburger. The download page has also been redesigned and the download toolbar is much bigger too.
 
You can enable MD in the windows version via chrome://flags, been using it for the past couple of versions with no issues.
