Exactly why I do NOT use chrome and why I'm looking to get away from them as my mail as well. Problem is that no other company, except MS, has as many features as Gmail does. You're correct. The hardware vendors do the same, in particular IBM. They'll lowball your current company to get in house and then jack the prices up like mad when it comes time for renewal. It depends on what you're looking for. I do a lot of UNIX/Linux support with proprietary and open source and some open source is better, and vice-verse. In house programming can be problematic because if it's not maintained, it goes dormant and people move on then when it breaks no one knows how to support it. Situation I'm in right now as I'm trying to consolidate, decommission and/or update servers. Browser neutral coding can be expensive. But, I applaud anyone who does it. Fixed.
Wow I had tried chrome when it first came out and was a beta version but didn't care for it. Just downloaded it and it is so mch faster than mozilla its not even funny, I thinkI found myself a new browser.
