I'm excited because of what's already possible simply with the ability to "cast" a browser tab to the tv. In addition to Chrome's ability to play local files in the browser, HTML5 added a few specifications that expand the ability to work with local files. With the proper file formats and / or codec support (or the ability to use intermediate transcoding) this could take the place of most of what I'm currently using two media servers for.
So, I'm happy with what it offers out of the box, and looking forward to seeing what else is possible.
