I haven't watched the movie below, but intend to do so shortly.
As long as M$ is dominant on the OS side, no prizes for predicting
which will be the dominant browser. What would be surprising though is
to see Chrome overtaking Firefox (interesting as it sounds -- and
those javascript speed tests... wow!) Firefox has momentum. Momentum
matters a lot in software platforms/standards.

currently is their big advantage.
Why they have a role to play, i think, is very nicely anwsered in
the stephen
fry movie that simon posted yesterday. It is a proper version of the
opensource pitch i gave at barcamp last friday and explains free
software
very well.

from now?
I think Firefox will be the loser. IE is backed by Microsoft, Safari
by Apple and Chrome by Google. Can Firefox compete?
Why is Firefox popular? Why does Firefox have a bigger share of the
browser users than Opera or other free downloadable browsers?
These are the questions Google will have to answer to compete with
Firefox and then to eventually take on IE and Safari.

and it worked wonderfully, not so?
Quoting joseph mpora <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Read the first 10 or so pages of their (google chrome) comic.
Everything they say makes sense, but it could be a cleverly worded
advert.
