And I doubt Microsoft even care that much about Linux or Apple as competition any more, they're more concerned (and rightly so) by Google If anything, I'd expect Chrome to suck - actually, it does suck compared to Opera. Man, what a revelation Opera has been. Fast, stable, good looking, has a lot of neat features built right in and completely standards compliant.

See, Zelda - I'm not the only person who raves about how good Opera is

Minor rant - I do wish more people would code sites to work on all browsers, then I wouldn't have to use 3 of the sodding things.

And as an aside, have just run up all three browsers to see which uses the least resources - all have the same tabs open:
Firefox runs even better on my iMac than it does on my Hewett-Packard. The browser frequent crashes on the PC, but never on the Mac. Then again, since I don't use the Mac as much, I'm not using any plug-ins with the Firefox. Maybe it is the plug-ins.
