Kind of annoyed that Google have turned this into negative marketing of rivals.

Below the doodle, I’m seeing “Upgrade to a modern browser and see what this doodle can really do.”, where ‘modern browser’ is a link to the Chrome download page.
I’m using the most-recently released version of Firefox – by most standards, at least as ‘modern’ as Chrome.

[Edit: Actually, it may be me: I have my browser fairly locked-down, with cookies, widgets, etc. blocked - that might be preventing proper browser-detection.]

  Worked for me in chrome, except this computer’s audio is thoroughly borked so all I get is the visual effect of keys pressed and knobs turned. Awesomeness level: limited.

  I couldn’t get it to work in either IE8 *OR* Chrome. Bollocks.
