I've moved over to Chrome for OSX last week and haven't looked back. Whats nice about updates to the Inspector is that they'll be in Chrome as well.
IMO, Chrome now has the best of both worlds: Faster/better browsing (I like the tabs on top) experience and superb inspector.
The concept is a big change from what we people are familiar with today and I think the only way for Google to try to make it a household name like GMail is to slowly merge the features into GMail. Once they get a large enough population raving about it, these people will usually make their friends/family/colleagues try it out, and from there adoption will gradually increase. But if Wave is not a replacement for GMail, I'm not sure people will go out of their way to use another service that most of the time their email program will do just fine.
Now, if you like the Google Wave concept, I ask you to give MooGroups (http://moogroups.com) a try. You get the power of centralized discussions directly in your inbox, without ever having to leave your inbox, without having to create an account, and while using any email program. Plus a polls gadget based on free-form text.
Unlike Google Wave, MooGroups is available now, being improved upon everyday, doesn't require any signup, and allows you to use any email system.
I've thought about this a lot and there just isn't any other option. One way to get around this is to build my own web/iphone/etc client which would know exactly how to handle the Cc's. But that is out of the current scope.
Putting the recipients in the body is not really an option since there is no auto-completion for email address in the body.
I'm left with trying to hammer that concept into anyone that uses the service with clear/concise/clever instructions.
Appreciate the feedback!
We are in the early stages. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good Wave is definitely some exciting technology. I feel that MooGroups and Google Wave have some similar functionality but not a complete overlap. Perhaps even integrate with Google Wave in the future.

My friends basement looks just like his basement. However I would trade his solid state amps for otl.
However, I do find myself programming better with some beer. I actually feel a little more relaxed and focus better. Strange I know.
It was a real disappointment.
I think the new and bold thing about Windows 7 is that it doesn't suck...as much. You gotta look at it from the perspective of a typical non-techie users. My mom had Vista and whens she needed help it took me quite a while to figure out all the crazy control panels and cryptic hidden settings. She once even deleted her network connection and couldn't get it back. Windows 7 will hopefully reduce the clutter and make it easier to use than Vista.
