Can I add a whine about no Linux version? I guess if Google wants to hit MSFT where it hurts, it has to be on Windows (duh), but I still think they'll take more from Firefox than IE.

It doesn't run everything, so can't be your 'plan a' browser, but it's pretty good. You know, everybody is saying, "Wah wah wah how 'bout a version for the Mac." I agree. But..."Wah wah wah....how 'bout a version for Windows Mobile?" And other Mobile OS's? It's clean, simple, and plain dumb fast.

I could see google managing to penetrate a bit further than the ol' fox into ms land if they market it right. And as others have pointed out, if Safari/Firefox/IE/Opera and various others use some of the open-source goodies in Chrome to make themselves faster/stabler/mo-bettah then everyone wins including the big G.

But yes, we're on the same page. Chrome seems like an easy bet to cannibalize Firefox and take share from Safari and Opera. With no Linux or Mac (yet) versions, even that seems like a tall order. Maybe there's more to the master plan.

BTW, I heard Chrome has the speed dial feature that Opera has, but I can't find it. Anyone?
