What is relevant is that Chrome is a trojan horse in every respect.
Geeks get where Chrome is going.
Everyone else is left scratching their heads and saying "What's so cool about Chrome?" or "IE works fine, why do I need another browser?".
Having seen the rise of Microsoft and their victory over Netscape, this Microsoft vs Google war is going to be VERY entertaining as it plays out.
Google's revenue stream comes from ads. Microsoft's comes from software.
Who better to harness the army of "software should be free" open source developers than the company who doesn't depend on revenues from software?
Reminds me of Aragorn raising the "Army of the Dead" for the battle of Minas Tirith...who could have guessed you could get THOSE guys to show up and follow a single leader?????

(6 Comments)happy that Google has created Chrome. I'm using it right now and I must say,
it's the fastest browser I have ever encountered. (I had Safari and Firefox,
both of which were turtles ... and don't even get me started on that crap, IE.)
I like the no-nonsense, bells & whistles free format and I'm sure this accounts
for it's speed. (Listen, I pay for a cable ISP so I want a fast browser. All the
others are s-l-o-w.)
Anyhoots ... I love Chrome. Thanks so much, Googlies!
