Like it matters if I agree or not. Google is obviously
the goal of every search engine optimizer out there. They know it, Microsoft knows it, Yahoo knows it along with everyone else.
Taking a bite out of the "browser apple" fo Google right now, makes no sence. The war they are fighting now on Desktop Searching with Microsoft is one that they have a lot of battles to win.
I would have to guess that Google has not "given up" on building a browser. Just put it off for a very long time. After all in
this article they already have already picked the worms out of the "apple."
