Also, as far as the Linux version goes... they haven't even decided what toolkit they'll be using. The current code is all "windows.h"
From what I've gathered, they've been reluctant to talk about it for
fear of inciting the wrath of roughly 50 percent of the Linux base by picking GTK over Qt or Qt over GTK. My current expectation is that Chrome will run on Linux via Wine, with all the terrible that implies. Its what every Google desktop project has done, and I've yet to see why that would change.
I don't quite comprehend the release strategy behind Chrome. They clearly wrote the blueprint comic book to assuage people who'd otherwise be outraged on behalf of Firefox (note: it was not written by blogoscope, but the seminal Scott McCloud http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2001/06/22/) . I suppose one thing it did do is educate Google about where their code hosting tools are lacking: they're currently swamped in hundreds of duplicate bugs!
