Most average users don't even know what a browser is let alone there are other options out there. All they know is the E with the swish lets them get to google/facebook/ebay. What Google is doing is enabling IE, which the average computer user is comfortable using, and giving them a much richer experience without the hassle of learning a new browser (which is daunting concept for the non computer savvy). As for the infrastructure issue, the IT department is a whole lot more likely to install a plugin for a user than install a whole new browser. Thus avoiding any compatibility issues that will arise if they were to roll out a new browser across the company. If a whole company is stuck on IE6 for compatibility reasons and they decide to roll out chrome frame to all users. That's a win for the open web in my books.

Why would anyone ever install Chrome Frame? If someone doesn’t like IE, isn’t it far more likely he’d switch browsers? Why not just install Chrome entirely? If people want to switch, they’ll just do it. Unless they can’t, due to their company’s infrastructure for example. But in that case, they won’t be able to install Chrome Frame either… Chrome Frame is a nice gesture, but unfortunately Google is missing the point here. Why would anyone ever install Chrome Frame?

I just quickly put the demo together to show Chrome Frame more than anything wasn't too concerned about optimising for other browsers. Thanks for the tip Jon.

I'm getting a much higher framerate than you've got going on in Firefox. One thing I found is that you should make the bounding box around the gradients as small as possible, which vastly improves the number of particles that can be rendered at once. The code is pretty clean, so you should be able to follow it.
