Ironically I had it hang on a Macworld article about it. Still very beta in my opinion. Noticed some messing up rendering of Photoshopelementsuser.com
Apple also revamped their own website to show it off (http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2007/06/11/apple-says-hello-to-web-2-0)

Seems to be much faster than IE7/Firefox in loading pages.

We’ll see how it all pans out.
