Great to see you guys on the ball with the Chrome coverage. I can't wait to see DS pushing the frontpage with all things Chrome. Even if there had to be just ONE simple post about IE8 Beta 2. I know it's going to be so difficult to have to go back to Windows to use Chrome. But I think you'll survive, like the other 95% of the world.
Seriously, I really don't understand what's so major about this browser. I mean changing the way web browsers work is interesting for some, I guess. But there's already a great assortment of browsers out there. I can't help but think Google's Chrome is only just a way of Google extending their reach all over the web. Feature-wise, it doesn't seem spectacularly impressive. I guess 'Google' and 'browser' must make some people hungry for it.
Well if it's really something, maybe all the other browsers could learn a thing or two. Nice to know Download Squad isn't the least bit partial to particular companies out there...

We did post about IE 8's Beta's 1 and 2. I haven't had a chance to use it in-depth, in part because the hard drive I had been using for my Windows VM's (I use a Mac) fell over and pretty much died and I have to reformat another drive to get my VM sandbox setup again. It is actually a fairly large PITA for me to do any cross-platform tests and still have access to all of my tools, which is why I made my attempt at a humorous comment.I personally am NOT partial to any of the companies out there -- if IE 8's latest beta was making such a radical change (or if that announcement was an unanticipated), I'd be just as game for giving it the same coverage. And when IE 8 does drop, we'll give it full coverage too -- just like we did Firefox 3.This is a big deal for lots of reasons: Google is one of the largest companies in the world. Not just technology companies, companies. It's also arguably the most powerful force in the online sphere (I'd say Microsoft is the most powerful software company, bar none, but Google has real power in the online sector). A GBrowser is a big deal, not just because of the company, but because of the technology. Just reading the comic book, I got excited about the possibilities.

@Christina : It's all right. I mean I understand how it works in the real world. It's much more easier to get excited in companies like Google, than old MS when it comes to things. And yeah, MS still has stuff to work on making itself more webified.
I liked the comic book too :^)
