    But that doesn't count, of course.

      Google also included its own HTTP network code in this new version, which, according to the release notes, was necessary to move ahead with the Mac and Linux versions of Chrome.

      That simply suggests that there ARE plans for a Mac (and Linux) version of Chrome.

  More importantly, what does it say about Google Chrome's plans if it's working on v2.0 before releasing anything on a non-windows platform?

    Google is running the version printing presses around the clock; expect further inflation. I suspect they'll want to reach vague parity with FF '3' and Safari '3'. (IE users don't care so much about version numbers; to them the browser is just 'the internet'.)

    I noticed in one of the screenshots that quarterly releases are considered stable. That and the ridiculously fast incrementing of version numbers seems to indicate that (1) they're continually tracking another project a la Gnome/Ubuntu -- presumably WebKit, (2) everyone in the company is spending their 20% time on Chrome, (3) they're planning to surpass Firefox's version number this summer and eventually catch up to IE and Opera in a couple of years, and (4) the original code was very Windows-specific and porting to Mac and Gtk+ is really a lot of work.
