Google Google has barely released Chrome 1.0, but the company is already hard at work on version 2.0 of its web browser. They released a pre-beta for Chrome 2.0, which comes with a lot of new features, including ones that should've already been in Chrome 1.0. In addition, it seems as if the Mac and Linux versions of Chrome are getting closer.

I know there's an etiquette to observe when assigning version numbers to your software. Major internal updates get a number before the point, while minor internal or interface changes get one after it, but really, it's their software. If they want to call it 2.0, I won't begrudge them that. It seems like a pretty big internal change to enhance existing CSS support and switch to completely different HTTP code. This is pre-beta, maybe the final release of 2.0 will have enough visible feature changes to justify that number.
