I've watched MS from the very beginning and their bullying thieving ways. I'm glad to see another bright spot in this industry. MS brought this on themselves so wallow in it.

I like Google Chrome! To me, it's faster than FF and IE. It doesn't display everything quite as well as the other two, but I think it will in time. Even though they are funding FF, Google does something new every week it seems like, so this doesn't surprise me much. Still waiting on that Android Phone! I don’t mind Google creating a browser.

Corey you are nothing short of a conspiracy theorist! How on earth you got: “We don’t care if they use Firefox or Google Chrome. We just don’t want them to use IE” from “Our hope is that by adding our voice, more users will realize there is a choice.” is completely beyond me. It seems even if they explicitly stated that their target is not the IE market, you'd twist it to mean exactly that. Which is what makes you come across so nutty! No matter how I look at it, I can't help but feel that they're actually referring to Firefox, which is a far better browser than the lumbering IE7. Either way, at the very least they appear to be saying "Hey we've ALSO got a good browser to use, and we want a slice of the market". There's room for everyone. Not everything is about knocking IE or Microsoft... I think I was really too polite in my previous comment. Corey you are nothing short of a conspiracy theorist!

Anyone familiar with how businesses work will realize they are much like bacteria, and they are in competition for survival. The best way to survive is to be better at finding ways to adapt to the environment and leveraging the available resources than the competition. Google have repeatedly shown the ability to evolve to meet and exceed market expectations, often shaming their opposition in the process. It is smart business and it is entirely expected. Microsoft is NOT computing, it is NOT the web. They have NOT shown the ability to evolve well in the last 5 years (think of the bloated Vista and IE7), and a natural fallout of this is that other entities like Mozilla and Google will scream past the spluttering Microsoft, waving cheerily, as they go about their business of pushing technology forward. Diversity, innovation and competition are GOOD things. Anyone who is the least bit miffed by this needs to take a look at whether they really care about seeing web standards improve, or whether they are just being loyal for the sake of being loyal.
