Google's Chrome Sounds Like 1970s Pressure Cooker

I am no techno geek, but dgcaste and RickRussell make a lot of good points. Tell me if I have this correct: Microsoft is nearing the apex of its innovation curve...in other words, how much better can Office and IE get? Answer: Not much...because they are already satisfactory. So....Microsoft's massive cash flow is dependent on something that cannot be made much better. Therefore the cash flow will stagnate and dwindle. On the other hand, Google, who also has a massive cash flow, is linked to the evolution of...well.....modern life itself: Google will always be reporting what is "new" in culture, and selling ads to the viewers, like TV did 50 years ago. Microsoft is the Saturday Evening Post, Google is TV and Radio, wrapped into one. The new Chrome browser is an entry into the 10 year old browser wars true.....but....its purpose is not necessarily to break ground....rather it is to incrementally grease the skids to use Google services even more than is currently done with Firefox/IE and others. Do I have this right? If so, it is an ephiphany. I now realize why my Microsoft investment is stagnant for 5 years, while Google has taken over the world......
