However, of course, somebody needs to patch security holes, but if Google stops doing so, and Google Chrome becomes a common runtime for applications, then I'm sure that others will step in, just like most important Open Source applications.<br /><br />I Lars Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217303713945608384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434108347727659251.post-25120258970109403722009-07-24T15:55:44.473+02:002009-07-24T15:55:44.473+02:00@Warren: Please look up Google's plans for nat...@Warren: Please look up Google's plans for native code... because yes, you do COMPILE for google Chrome.<br /><br />If you compile for Intel Pentium/AMD, it will only run on those computers.

Most of it may be Open Source (not all is) but it's still running on Google's cloud. They're only using Open Source to accelerate take-on. They will maintain complete control.<br /><br />2.

Otherwise it's not a platform. IN other words, web developers have a twisted (wrong) idea of what the word platform means.<br /><br />How do you "compile to chrome"? It's not bytecode. It's a browser written in C/C++. It's not a platform, it's an application.
