Google Chrome

[Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO]

I like the new attention on the JVM.  Hopefully Java and javascript will
be kept from dragging everything down to crash land.

To do what you talk about would be really easy.   See Webconverger.org,
boot CD with JUST a browser.   Made to be a kiosk boot CD, if you could,
then you'd just drop in a browser replacement for Firefox.   If Chrome
requires Wine, then you'd have to slap that in there along with scripts
to autolaunch Chrome and respawn it if it crashed or got closed by the
user.  You can also include any browser plug-ins once they start making
them for Chrome.   Of course then you have to ask the question of why go
to that work when Webconverger already does this, but with Firefox.

I thought (assuming their speed improvements were real) the JavaScript
engine they wrote will probably be useful to other browsers if nothing
else.  How long will it be until they start using our browser history
to target ads... uh, I mean sponsored links!!!

Chrome is a beta, but I don't think you are testing their browser out.
 I think this is the earliest pre-release of be beginning of the
Google OS, and they are beta testing users out.  In a few years, the
browser will *be* the OS sofar as "normal people" know.  Heck, my
family thinks I boot Open Office.  Slap a slim kernel on in-behind
Chrome, "cloud storage" and browser sync, a primitive hardware
compatibility layer (oh I dono, using Google gears somehow maybe?),
and it will do just what 90% of people want.
