Welcome Chrome! Welcome!
Google seems to be making giant strides in seriously competing with Microsoft. And of course I’m loving every bit of it. Competition breeds better applications.
Rich web applications is indeed the cornerstone of the internet, and Google is leaving no stone unturned. Its about launching its latest browser to compete with Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Chrome, as it is called, is designed to be lightweight and fast, and to cope with the next generation of web applications that rely on graphics and multimedia.
Chrome will be an open source application just like Firefox. It will launch as a beta for Windows machines in 100 countries, with Mac and Linux versions to come.
“What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that’s what we set out to build,” Mr Pichai, VP Product Management, wrote.
The launch of a beta version of Chrome on Tuesday will be Google’s latest assault on Microsoft’s dominance of the PC business. The firm’s Internet Explorer program dominates the browser landscape, with 80% of the market.
Join me comrades, in welcoming CHROME!
