So, should Microsoft be worried about Google Chrome?

Chrome browser postscript: After all the hoopla over Google's 10th birthday last week and the launch of its Chrome browser - how is Chrome doing?
Many millions of people have tried it out in the last few days. Early analysis suggests that it has already grabbed more than 1 per cent of market share. Interestingly, Internet Explorer is standing firm at more than 72 per cent but both Firefox and Safari have taken a hit from early adopters flocking to the new service.  It is too soon to say whether Chrome is the real deal. It has its limitations as a browser. Mozilla’s Firefox is better as things stand at the moment.
But it is designed to be more than a browser and the next year or so will be crucial as other browsers take up its open technology. Chrome opens separate, independent “tabs” for each new operation and that makes it perfect for displaying in one place your documents and web search results. It is its own little desktop, and that should send shivers of fear down Bill Gates’s spine.
Google’s position of power in search means that it has to be taken very seriously. If you go Visitors to the Google search homepage, guess what is sitting just below the search bar: “New! Download Chrome (BETA) — the new browser from Google”.
