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?

- gojomo 18y agoGoogle 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'.)
- etal 18y agoI 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.
