From my point of view, Chrome is a new application for accessing the internet. If I remove Windows, how would I run Chrome? Would my mouse work? Would my keyboard work? Would my printer work and would it sync my iPhone? Could I play a DVD? /Dan Dear Steve,

Could you please explain to me why bloggers (like yourself) are comparing Chrome to Windows?

From my point of view, Chrome is a new application for accessing the internet. If I remove Windows, how would I run Chrome? Would my mouse work? Would my keyboard work? Would my printer work and would it sync my iPhone? Could I play a DVD?

How do these three play together? Maybe a musical analogy? Could you translate the second to last paragraph for the not-so-advanced? How do these three play together? Maybe a musical analogy?

I don't see the appeal of such a proposition to developers, let alone to the respective platform vendors. More realistic is Android + Mobile Chrome dominating the mobile space to an extent that gives Google some leverage to make a real move into the desktop space with Desktop Chrome + Android plug-ins. > Chrome becomes the junction point between Mesh and App Engine

Who is going to make this happen? I don’t see the appeal of such a proposition to developers, let alone to the respective platform vendors.

More realistic is Android + Mobile Chrome dominating the mobile space to an extent that gives Google some leverage to make a real move into the desktop space with Desktop Chrome + Android plug-ins.

Google now has a platform to base future development on, showing how it can be correctly when people complain about the divergent, disparate platforms that we call 'web browsers' today. The fact is that we now longer 'browse' web pages, but now we instantiate web sites which are in truth applications. Chrome is showing us that the 'browser' is the view into this new OS, and that the OS is the Internet. Not all of the separate web sites, but the combined mass of them, that we call the Web, with the capitol 'W'.
