Then they must not be the most-hated company yet, or people would; and it does mean any technical advances can be used in other browsers. (I was mainly impressed with the JS VM, anyway, so that's good.)

And for those concerned about multi-process vs. multi-thread, think copy-on-write; it's not as big a difference as you might suppose.
