Google Chrome ... Really? Windows Only?

That worries me ... a lot. Without a lot of community involvement I have a bad feeling that Google Chrome won't be anything but Windows only. When I've seen such strong usage of OS specific items it usually means the developers who wrote the code only know how to work with one system (not counting the IDE project files which is a big warning on it's own). It may not be true, but from first look it is something to worry about.
