I have a lot of friends who use it and say it runs Java like none other.  Sadly there is not a Linux build for it yet.  I may just have to run it through Wine and see how well it works.  Depending on how well it works I may just decide to run that instead of FF, but FF seems to work really well on Linux as-is so I may just stick with it until there is a Linux build.

You'll have to let me know how it works in Wine, I'm curious myself. I like it because it runs fast. If a tab crashes it won't crash the whole browser too, which is cool. I haven't been able to crash it yet so I can't validate it though. It's a little to simplified to me, but has it's place.

Haven't tried it, but I've heard it's very fast and very nice.

EDIT: I'm actually editing this on Google Chrome, and I have to say, so far, it is very fast and very nice. It is rather simplistic, and I'll probably stick with Firefox for that reason. It's good enough that I'll keep it installed, which is more than I can say for numerous other browsers I've tried. But it is VERY fast.

I'll download it tomorrow once I have Windows Seven Beta M1 Build 6519 installed.

The magic system is just too powerful for me and had too many holes for my liking.

What kind of holes are you talking about?

To be fair, in regards to this statement, it is still in beta, so as far as content goes, there may be more to come. Also, they were going for a simplified interface, if that's what you mean for it being simplified. :P

as far as holes the biggest ones to me seem to be the inconsistency from the first few books to prior books. There isn't much but the feel of the magic is different. I'd have to read it again to go into more depth.
