Use Chrome in IE6, new web technologies directly into Internet Explorer
Google launched a rather interesting plug-in for Internet Explorer. This plug-in give you access to the Chrome engine inside IE. Which means, for example, that you could use a canvas tag and get it to render in IE natively. The plug-in will detect HTML5 technologies automatically and launch the Chrome frame application. So your “IE6 only” web applications should work, and you could have all the new cool HTML5 technologies at the same time.
It is a rather big kick in the butt to Microsoft.
Fun stuff. More information here.
