While I think it's a great article Peter, I also think that Google's main incentive lies elsewhere. Incidentally Joel also wrote about this in his strategy letter V (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/StrategyLetterV.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/StrategyLetterV.html)
In my mind, what google tries to do with chrome is to commoditize the browser, which is a complementary product to their online services.
- pchristensen 18y agoI don't know, I'd say that browsers are already pretty commoditized. Pre-installed on every machine, several free alternatives available, etc. If anything, they're commoditizing Javascript processing, effectively giving a clock speed boost for internet usage. But their pages are already the fastest pages on the internet, so it probably doesn't help them sell too many more ads just with speed.
