What a load of bull shit....
At least this should bring linux into further popularity and further degrade the ever falling MS Windows.

lol, as if.
In any case, I stopped using Google months ago. I hate their anti-competitive practices. Don't be evil? Follow your own advice.

Chrome is seriously one of the crappiest pieces of software any major corporation ever had the gall to release for free. It has crap security and I hate the interface. Incidentally, in a recent PC World test, Chrome was only an average of .55 seconds faster than IE and Firefox (which had nearly the same speed.)

Links?
Seriously though, Chrome isn't that bad. It lacks a little, but it's not half bad. I'd for sure rank it higher than IE, but firefox... that's iffy. It's like a utorrent vs Azureus/Vuze argument. (Webkit vs.... w/e the hell it was)
Also, I really don't see how google is anti-competitive. But that's just me.
Also, google invests greatly in Linux. Another big guy to do the same, IBM.

Not sure whether or not this was the article I read or not, since it was in the PC World magazine. I'll have a look tomorrow at college.

I know, as much as the name sucks, I use it because they give away free stuff for using it. (Yeah, I'm saying I can be bribed)
