RE: Chrome security boosts Google OS plan
Kai22 24th Jul 2009
Isn't Google making the same mistake as Microsoft by
not separating the browser from the OS? Internet
Explorer and Windows Explorer share a common codebase
so any vunerabilities in the browser open up the OS to
attack. I don't see how Google is going to succeed
where Microsoft didn't. I know that Chrome is a modern
browser, built to handle resources more efficiently
and breakout processes into separate sandboxes, but -
like all software that connects to the internet - it's
not impervious to attack.

Then again, the Google Chrome OS isn't a traditional
OS, so maybe it's not a 1:1 comparison...
