Google's Nukes?

"Now along comes Google, carrying two nuclear missiles: Android and
Chrome. Both are immediate problems for Microsoft. Let me be
absolutely clear: Chrome is not a Web browser, it's an application
runtime. Chrome is really Google Gears with a browser facade. Sure,
Chrome is based on Webkit and has browser legacy, but the product's
core capabilities—and Google's objectives for them—is running Web
applications. Chrome is a development platform, but in the cloud
instead of on the PC. Way I see it, Chrome is the Google OS."
