Google Chrome - People are reading about it, but who's using it?

Darryl's post yesterday about Google Chrome, has had a brilliant response. Oddly, however, it seems while everybody was reading about Chrome and discussing Chrome across the internet at large, not that many people were using it - possibly down to worries about the EULA. Here's what Analytics reports about browser usage on Searched Designed Developed yesterday:
While people are reporting that Chrome is turning up in stats as "Safari", the number of people viewing the site yesterday using Safari and Windows - the only OS where the browser works at the moment - was a paltry 41 - some of whom will have been using Safari.
Certainly Google will fix this so we can track the growth of people using Chrome in the coming weeks and months, but has anyone else seen similar trends or worked out a way to distinguish between regular Safari users and Chrome users in the meantime?
