Google Chrome aims for Windows, Apple may help

I love reading/thinking about the mixing of business and technology strategy in the technology industry. Google launched a new browser, Chrome, this week and here is a fun analysis of the strategy that Google is pursuing.

"While many think Chrome is a direct shot at IE, it is actually a flanking move aiming at Windows - and Google may be getting a little help from Apple. We are moving to a different kind of platform than the PC we have become familiar with. Microsoft released Equipt, now Google introduces Chrome and I expect Apple will announce their counter shortly - likely with Google’s help. The Cloud represents a significant amount of potential for allowing us to work and play anyplace, anytime we want. I have a feeling the kids in the 2020s will look back at the early years in this century much like we look back at the early years in the 1900s and wonder how people lived this way."
