>> I see it this way: anyone who might even consider Chrome will have likely already switched to FF. Those who are still using IE are much less likely to switch to Chrome. Also, Google has actively promoted FF in the past, and are now competing in the same space instead of working with them.<<
If you have not read the Chrome comic book, take a read. They are not really targeting any specific browser, just the browser experience in general. Multiple times they mention how Chrome is open source and anyone can freely borrow the ideas, concept, code, etc. and encourage FireFox and IE teams (I don't recall if the others were mentioned) to do so. They appear to be more interested in advancing the browser experience for the good of the users, oh, and the good of their web applications. It really reads like serious innovation and sounds like a solid strategy to shake off the bad Wed developers code, and the hackers/spammers alike. I think the toss out everything and start from scratch is the only way this can be done. The existing browser dev teams are too entrenched in their existing code and this could be the kick in the butt they need to make better software. I am most interested in seeing if Chrome is calling home with more stats on what I do on the Web.
