Google Chrome, Leave M$ and Enter the Gworld

If you were wondering if Google's Chrome is just a part of a browser war, I think you got it wrong. It is what most desktop application providers like M$ dread, it is a path to liberation of web applications. The design of the program, which is open source and that includes a Java script engine that is geared towards faster and safer web applications. The Java Script engine will provide offline access and local storage for Web applications, is also embedded in the browser.
So where is Google going with this browser? I would think this is a part of Google's Microsoft Killer. So why don't you down load and test the Beta Chrome! This post is created using the Chrome.
