>Microsoft still runs the dominant operating system! They have a huge opportunity here to complete. The same way Chrome advertises on Google.com, Microsoft can provide the default fucking browser that is HUGE.
They've had that advantage since Chrome came out. Didn't stop them from losing almost all their market share.
>Its multiprocess architecture, by far its most long term scalable feature, was behind Internet Explorer's (they started multiproc trend with, iirc, IE8).
Chrome has been technologically ahead of IE since it came out.
>Acquire Servo, do better? That's my entire point.
Why do we think Servo will be better?
- staticassertion 6y ago> They've had that advantage since Chrome came out. Didn't stop them from losing almost all their market share. Absolutely. But it certainly is a huge benefit to them. > Chrome has been technologically ahead of IE since it came out. No doubt, in a number of ways that's certainly true. IE needs to compete on tech. > Why do we think Servo will be better? Because it solves real problems for browsers - security and performance, in a more than incremental way.
