Actually they did create a "PowerPoint" type slide show app. So it seems maybe that is the direction they're going. First a browser, then a presentation app, all they need is a good spreadsheet and word processor.
Personally, I'll root for anything that gives MS competition, even though I love IE and .NET. But I agree with the consensus here: Mac better get with the standards program when the app goes from beta to final or this developer will be giving their browser the finger.
