  This is to be expected, Chrome stealing market share from Firefox. You have 2 basic end users, those that will try new technologies and those that will stick to the defaults. In most people's cases (those that stick to the defaults) they are running Windows with IE. It is unlikely that they will change.
  
  Firefox is generally used by tekkies. They are also more likely to move onto Chrome for at least a while to give it a try. I don't think Chrome will cause IE too many headaches...but Firefox should beware.

  The interesting questions to me are not if Chrome (beta) is ready for prime time (it is not) or which established browser will suffer more (they all will.) What I find more interesting is that it appears to have all the trappings of a disruptive technology hiding in plain sight and that most techno-types don't recognize this because they are caught up in the techie details of this beta release.
