What if Chrome was simply a stepping stone towards a Google OS?
What if some of the principles in the Google apps to date suggest not
having to rely on the need for deeper functions?
One trend is to be able to serve up applications that have a few key
simple functions that people use more regularly with the ability to
switch on more features as needed.
What's interesting about the interview is that the product manager
said that the reason there is no Mac or Linux version yet is that
they've optimized the existing beta heavily to Windows.
He also said that Android, which *is* a Google OS, isn't using Chrome
for the same reason. They are using the same rendering engine, WebKit,
but have different UIs and components because their OS environment is
very different.
I thought that was very interesting and telling about Google's view.
