Chrome will have security problems, and they will NOT all of a sudden gain
share. That said, the Google brand is very powerful, and people use it every day to search, and there will be lest resistance to trying Chrome than there was for Firefox. Because of Firefox trailblazing, alternative browsers are not part of peoples vocabulary. and you combine that with the Google brand, and you have something powerful. Look for Chrome to gain 5% within a year, and Firefox to hold steady or gain a bit.

And, the other problem for MS, the IE6 holdouts are like Win2000/XP holdouts. When they finally DO get off their arses, they will be likely to consider something other than Microsoft.
