Sure, Chrome_fan, I agree.

Google definitely changed the world, and so did Microsoft. As a whole I think their interests differ, though. Google is consumer oriented and mainly introduces “cool” products and everything that makes the “internet experience” better. The reason of course is that they earn money from all the people who use the internet. MS, on the other hand are more business oriented – they sell complex business solutions. As long as they go along these paths, there’s space on the market for both Google and MS. If they start to actually compete in the full sense of the word – then it becomes interesting. And I think they will . Take a look at this article by Dare Obasanjo.

- Agree with most points, but I think Chrome will easily beat Firefox once it adds few new features (Google Toolbar etc) quite soon and differentiates itself. Now as an OpenSource program/service it relates with FireFox to attract its users, but it will soon be much more than a browser and will have significant competitive advantages (like Microsoft has for years).
- Microsoft (mainly) has changed the world. So has Google in a much smaller effect. Firefox haven’t. Just see the big picture, who is competing with who here. It will be interesting to see how Microsoft reacts to this, and what Google has planned, in general how the MasterMinds behind those two giants will play their chess game.
- Chrome will definitely become more popular than Firefox ang gain market share because it is heavily advertised at the home page of the most popular website on earth (Google).
- This is just the first version, there are so many more suprises to come. Google guys know what they’re doing, Google hires really great quality people (and I am not talking only about their IT but about their strategy guys, two people I know at their team are both ex-McKinsey consultants), they definitely do their strategic analysis much better than we do it for them, and have a smart roadmap for penetrating into the market.

All I am saying is – we better see the big picture here, not judge just by one product on its first release.. there’s going to be so much more, that will change the shape of the market in the next 12-24 months.

For example: I’ve read several posts about people blaming Chrome because it doesn’t have Google toolbar embedded, and this is the reason they “hate” Chrome. Does anybody really believe that Google guys are that naive and have not been proactive, and do not have something powerful coming up?
