Microsoft Watch - Web Services & Browser - Chrome: The Google OS

Microsoft Watch - Web Services & Browser - Chrome: The Google OS

Chrome looks to be what Netscape wanted to be: a Web-based operating system that treats Windows like a shell. Perhaps the best commentary on Chrome comes from John Gruber (aka Daring Fireball) in a two-sentence blog post: "Sounds more like an application run-time than a Web browser, though." He's absolutely right. Chrome isn't just Google's long-rumored Web browser, it's the long-rumored operating system, too.
