Google's Chrome browser is more than just a poke in the eye at Microsoft. It's a strategic move that should have both Microsoft and Adobe worried about the future of their applications. As Nick Kolakowski reported on eWEEK, Google introduced...

Clearly, Mac and Linux versions of Chrome are the most sought after iterations for the Web browser, which got me wondering. Chrome is used by less than 1 percent of computer users worldwide, according to Net Applications, which tracks Web browser and operating system use among other Web apps. It will be interesting to see what the uptake of Chrome will be when Mac and Linux versions appear.

Google makes great Web services and I will continue to use them. But I'm not blind to the devious actions that Google may or may not be undertaking under the guise of competition.

Google's creation of the Google Chrome Web browser means the company has jumped the shark of innocence.

I have no doubt that if Google fails to port Android to computers and Chrome doesn't gain more traction, Google's chances of cracking the Windows hegemony will fail. But you have to give both Android and Chrome time. Nothing in computing gets decided in a year's time, and both Android and Chrome have only been productized for a few months.

With the year winding down, let's consider what's on tap at Google for 2009. If the Ubuntu-EEE operating system on Asus netbooks is a hit, why can't the Linux-based Android OS score points with manufacturers and consumers alike?

Will Google challenge Microsoft IE with Firefox and Chrome, ditch one of the two, or neither?
