Comments on: Google announcement coming later today

Google is scheduled to make a presentation at 11:45 a.m. PDT on a still unknown topic at the TechCrunch50 event in San Francisco. We'll be there.

IE6 is on the poll?
I'm having a hard time imagining a big secret media event to announce support for an obsolete version of an obsolete browser. Even if IE6 is still prominent in corporate environments because some apps don't work with IE7 due to non-compliance with web standards. That's for Microsoft to make announcements about, not Google.

GDrive seems to go against Google's vision. They seem to want emails, pictures, videos, documents, spreadsheets, pdfs, and presentations in their servers. 15 minutes is really quick, and there would not be time to present GDrive. Chrome for mac & linux, amongst all those web2.0 developers, seems much more likely.

It's too soon for a Mac & Linux version of Chrome. As a Google employee says on their mac blog:

"Right now, both are in the "pieces build and pass tests, but there's no Chromium application yet." "
