You said it yourself......consumer adoption ...

is too hard to gauge.


And w/o looking, isn't zdnet's tagline something like "where business meets technology" or something like that.


I can say, based on anecdotal evidence which is shared here frequently regarding certain vendors, i've not heard of one person so far that has loaded and is using Chrome.


Around here, in this industry, Google is a bad word. It stands for "we want all of your data, private and otherwise and to own it forever".


There are not as many people, as Google would hope, that trusts Google. People saw that "do no evil" held no substance and they don't want a company taking their data w/o their knowledge.

Well, in fairness to Google desktop anyway, i guess if someone were to read the license with Google Desktop far enough, or hired a lawyer, they would have found that Google did indeed put it in there, somewhere in small fine print, about storing your deleted messages on their servers. And even though it was supposed to be a feature that allowed people to "undelete" mail if needed, the fact that Google took ownership of it and wanted to keep it forever gave people a rather ominus disturbing feeling about Google and and Google's intentions.
