Google wave sure looks interesting. You mentioned it works well on both Ubuntu and win7. Is there any noticeable differences?

I've been invited on Google Wave and I'm checking it out.
On the technical side it's a little bit slow.
Being a web application, it works well on both Windows and Linux platforms (I used it on Win7 and Ubuntu Jaunty on a Chrome 4.0.xxx browser)

My impressions:

it's good but it's not so exciting yet. It's very limited, it's slower than what you see in the demo video on youtube.
And there are very few things to do, a part from chatting in real time, or adding some link

And when I say real time I mean it! You can see other's people words appear as they type (nothing new tough, it was a feature in ICQ in the late '90s!!!). After a bit you end up in total a chaos with unstructured talks, even if there's only 2 people in the wave!!!!

Anyone tested it yet? What do you think?

• being OSS, do you expect integration in some distro (anyone said Moblin?) as a client?
• Is it a revolution or just an evolution of chat/email? I like it but I fear an epic fiasco
• devil's advocate question: is there anything that GW does that cannot be performed with the Facebook wall? Aren't they both a metaphore of a shared dashboard?
