Google hates IE
Google surprised the internet cult by launching a new browser chrome. In a ironic note to the fact that most google employees use KDE, the chrome was launched only for windows and it is not yet available for linux/mac. The best thing about this fact is that all linux users and mac user, though little, already have a very good browser in the form of safari or firefox. It ll take more than a smile to remove the default label from them.
This is not the case with internet explorer. The best thing about this is that most windows users are still using internet explorer and it is one of the least standards specific browser. In a good measure to move these ignorant folks from using IE, google launched a note in the gmail program, which asked users to “Get faster google mail”. The link then pointed to use either firefox or chrome instead of Internet explorer and claimed there will a massive improvement in speed.
While google does this on a selfish note of moving users to its own browser, there is also a good thing that the motive also moves people away from internet explorer.
