Two initial thoughts about Chrome:
1) Google has more infrastructure than Akamai. Imagine what Chrome browsing will be like when Google gives Chrome-only access to a cache of the web which is stored within a couple hops from your desk. Neither a Firefox p2p cache nor Microsoft would have any chance of competing with that speed.
2) It is interesting to see the amount of energy and venom people put into finding and reporting problems with new products from Google (and other successful companies). Why are people surprised to find bugs in beta software? And do you think that Google (for example) is not quick on making bug fixes? The alternative is "old school" tech companies who spend so much time "perfecting" new products that customers don't even get to give input on them. No thanks for those days.¶9:48 PM
