Re: Chrome As a web developer myself, and having been in contact with many web developers large and small, let me tell you this. 95% of commerical web projects are developed for an extremely low common denominator with respect to end-client platform. Chrome will be, initially, about as popular as Shockwave -- i.e. zilch. Think about it -- anything that makes the web project simultaneously more expensive and viewable to a smaller audience is going to be a bit hit. Not. Eventually, in about two years when IE has 90% market share we'll start to see increasing sophistication in large scale websites since they'll be developing for a single platform. I guess there are people that would dispute the inevitable market dominance of IE; time will tell. Personally, I think Netscape screwed themselves and deserve to be beaten to pulp. Their software sucks. I'm not saying IE is better but if they expected to make any money competing against a free alternative their browser had to be significantly better, which it wasn't, and isn't. God bless, PX
