Get Ready For A New Platform War. Google Gears Drives Straight At Microsoft's
Profits.
,----[ Quote ]
| Google launched Gears last May, and for the first year of its release it was
| considered a minor, niche product that a few developers and users may take
| advantage of to allow offline access to web applications.
|
| [...]
|
| Google strongly backed the development of the open source Firefox web browser
| and supported open web standards as their technology stack of choice. They
| did this because their web applications depended on it, and a weak Firefox
| could possibly result in a revived Internet Explorer that would hand over
| control of the web back to Microsoft.
