In exactly the same way that a `giant IT company' (now you must see Dr. Evil fingerquoting `giant laser') did when hardcoding IE into it's supercalifragilisticexpialidocius (again Dr. Evil) `operating system'.
Just because Google use the force, err the open source, doesn't make it Luke Skywalker. As a matter of fact, IMHO Google slowly become a replacement for the `giant laser'.
> 2. Most people prefer Chromium. Most of geeks that I talk to do, that is for sure? Have you talked to somebody who has used any one browser for last few years and discovered Chrome/ium in last few months? I have and they are all in high praise of Chrome/ium when comparing it to other browsers they have used.
As well as they praise Google Docs over Office, Google Calendar over Exchange, a.s.o.
In fact, figures shows that Firefox kept it's market share for the last 6 months, while IE lost 1 percent each month for Chrome. So to speak, Chrome users seems to be former MS users that just realized they could brake out their M$ jail. And yes, this made them geeks. Sort of. :)
And oh, IE is still used by much more than 70 millions users. That doesn't make it a rock solid browser.

No, but you seems to hold this key, as you already proposed to remove any other browser, but Chromium.
None of us is right, and we can't know what is truth or false without some strong discussion. -- pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt blog: http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com linux, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless, ronjenje, pametne kuće, zwave registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
