Google Chrome

Hi Google. It’s me. Got a sec?

I’ve been a loyal fan for a long time. The web is where it’s at, and you’re the quarterback. Search, email, maps, calendars, docs, now the browser itself. Chrome is awesome. Rock on.

However.

The web is cross-platform. That really helps you guys do what you do so well, and you’ve been operating in that cross-platform and cross-browser way of mind for a really long time. So how in the name of God’s green Earth do you take WebKit and make a Windows-only product? The WebKit engine is from Mac OS X, which can run on 32-bit or 64-bit hardware. Apple made it work on Windows, too. Apple originally got it from the KHTML engine in the Konqueror browser, which is part of the KDE Desktop Environment for Linux.

Who the fuck do you think you are to take something that works on all 3 major platforms and break it so badly that you can release 2 major releases on Windows but a sum total of 0 releases for Mac and Linux combined? You should be absolutely ashamed. The inmates are running the asylum in your desktop products division. WAKE UP!

Thank you for listening.
