I care more about 'web professionals' than 'real people' switching. This article made it likely I'll switch to the now-available early Firefox 6 versions, just to do the manual about:memory 'minimize memory usage' trick, even before Firefox 7 arrives in any form. Giant footprint and mysterious GC pauses in Firefox have been driving me to use Chrome more and more; this might reverse that trend.

Personally, this is big enough news I'm happy to see it (even in a couple different forms) on HN.
