could that download an exe into startup folder, or only to my specified download location?
Far right of the bookmarks tab. CTRL-B shows/hides this bar...

Snap same on my laptop, uninstalled it until it is fixed.
It can only download to your specified download location and it can only download and execute jar files, not exe's.
It's combination of 2 bugs , one in java and one in webkit. The issue has already been fixed in webkit but the latest build isn't live in Chrome, yet.

After reading the EULA I'm not happy. As a photographer I try to restrict the images I post online but by accepting the EULA you basically are giving permission for Google to use those said images. 
Looks like I'll be posting my images using FF.
The EULA will need to be amended if they want it to be popular.

I've got to say.. I like it! It's extremely fast and simple.
Got a few qualms but that's expected from a Beta (very small things like I wish the download bar appeared on every tab and not just the one you downloaded from as I usually close the download site once it's started).
Set as my default browser now.

Why have you set a beta browser, with security flaws, that has no update guarantee (unlike open source) as your default browser?

Meh.
Despite that it is from 'aren't we so young and funky and ace' Google, I feel this won't actually take off as well as they hope. I don't know why, it is just a feeling. Look how long it has taken Firefox to claw out 10% or so of the browser base, this doesn't seem to offer enough to challenge even Opera at the moment.
Maybe in 10 years but that is an awful long time on the interwebnet.
I certainly won't be diluting the purity of my Mac with it, that's for sure.
What are you talking about? Firefox is much much closer to 50/50 than that. In fact on all my websites around 40% of my visitors use Firefox and 45% use IE - and my target audience is far from the 'more PC knowledgeable' you'd normally associate as Firefox users.
On the rest of my sites FF has way over a 50% share.
But hey you bum Apple so what do I know

Because I want to use it? Or do you just want me to say "Oo this is nice!" and then just go back to FF?

Yes, as it's just an archive and can contain trojans etc.
Good news on the EULA though, thought it must have just been an oversight on googles part.
No, but I guess you have answered why sensible people on the Internet are a declining breed!

i don't think your entirely right, FF is hardy the be all and end all! There are many problems with FF, and seeing as crome, for me has no problems (other than facebook, which i rarely use), it is very good, which is why I'm using it 24/7 now (FF is still windows default atm though).
The EULA seems to have been updated on http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html in the last couple of mins.
How many corporate visitors do you get? That's where IE's really still king, because of things like GPO.
Overall market share for Fx is ~20%, though in some countries it's much higher (~50% in Indonesia).
