I think they better watch out! The last time someone said this was Sun in regards to Java. Microsoft used every trick in the book to make sure it didn't happen, including marginalizing Java, packaging IE with the OS, hooking in "ActiveX" controls into IE, and other tactics. Note, in general, they lost these battles, but won the war.
What's curious to me is that this comes on the heels of the announcement of B!ng and on reports that it is picking up speed (but that report turned out to be a yawner -- the gains were statistically insignificant and likely related to the buzz).
I use Chrome (browser) on a daily basis, and while I like it, it is susceptible to crashing when there are lots of windows/tabs open. But on the whole, it's fast and clean.
However, the big plus is this: for developers, there will no longer be a distinction between writing software for the web and for the local computer, which is what Java and Microsoft have been trying to do for years, but have ultimately failed. It also means that there will be a greater emphasis on distinguishing between functionality and presentation, which I'm all very much in favor of.

DACS.JAVA(7) DACS Miscellaneous Information DACS.JAVA(7)
NAME
dacs.java - DACS Java support
DESCRIPTION
This document describes support for Java provided by DACS.
To enable Java support, DACS must be configured using the --enable-java flag. It may also be necessary to specify the location of the Java
commands and include files. See dacs.install(7)[1].
Note
Java support is currently very limited and should be considered experimental. It is currently only possible to call dacsauth(1)[2] and
dacscheck(1)[3] using the Java Native Interface (JNI) provided. The command line arguments to both of these commands are exactly as
documented in their manual pages. Each argument is passed as a String.
The code is not thread-safe and is probably not suitable for being called many times within a particular process due to assumptions it
makes about dynamic memory allocation.
There are no immediate plans to improve or extend Java support. Using the existing capability to build the JNI layer, however, it
should not be difficult for an experienced Java programmer to build upon the example Java code provided.
With Java support enabled, building DACS will copy the JNI shared library and a .jar file to the library directory (default:
/usr/local/dacs/lib), and the JNI include files to the include directory (default: /usr/local/dacs/include).
The tools/java/jni distribution directory contains a simple script called javarun that demonstrates how to run dacsauth or dacscheck as a
Java application. For example, to validate the Unix password for user somebody, run (as root):
./javarun dacsauth -m unix suff -user somebody -prompt
DIAGNOSTICS
The return codes are as documented in the command's manual page.
