It appears that Google scored a PR success with their Chrome browser. In short, the promise is a web experience where web pages are allowed to behave more like desktop applications. This is done by boosting the abilities of common web pages in terms of performance, while also allowing 'plugins' to enrich the user experience of certain other pages. As it seems, the announcement shot at the heads of people who've been holding their breath for the fabled Google Operating System. However in the following text I will demonstrate that Chrome [based on what we are allowed to know] puts strain on the Designer and Developer communities, is not innovative (save for one feature), and copies ideas liberally from Google's worst enemy.

There are a couple reason. One of which could be the interface, which is great in OSX but doesn't translate all that well in Vista or XP. The other could be the font rendering issue when Safari was first released that may have put some people off since everything looked rather blurry. On OSX this is not an issue since fonts are render the same globally, but on windows this looks rather odd.

Has anyone done a direct comparison between the two on the Windows platform?
I'm curious why Safari hasn't had as much uptake on the Windows platform. Is the current javascript engine in Safari significantly slower than the V8/Chrome engine?
