What is evil about releasing to the largest install base first?

  It serves the opposite purpose of encouraging openness in platforms. However, if the purpose hinted at by several articles (i.e., "Windows killer") is not, in fact, the purpose of the project...then it is a less interesting project (yet another browser is not interesting), but simultaneously makes more sense. mechanical_fish' reply is, I think, very astute. I can't argue with the logic at all, if the purpose of Chrome is merely to encourage more people to use decent browsers. Since all the shitty browsers (IE 6, IE 7, etc.) are on Windows, obviously any efforts towards getting people using better browsers should be focused on that platform.
