At the same time, it's the last, best hope to prevent exactly the same thing happening to Chrome.

You missed the lesson. Apple is doing is *exactly what caused IE to became a liability*. Good investment '06-'08 (maybe '09?). Boat-anchor thereafter + anticompetitive behaviour from OS. IE's issue wasn't that it sucked, it's that MSFT disbanded/underfunded team post '01

I'm *really* surprised that a calculated risk about Google continuing to invest in an open ecosystem -- including the OSS-ness that MSFT fought so hard against in the day -- is being equated with the sort of Hotel-Cuoertino clauses + underfunding we see from Apple *today*...

Google has set a very high bar for that investment, and it appears to actively discourage others from doing the same. As we've discussed many times, part of the power and value of the Web is in multiple implementations of the browser.

We are literally paying down the cost to fast follow for those that can't afford to join at the frontier. And let's be clear: that group does not involve MSFT, Apple, or even Mozilla (although I'm waiting to see most recent audited financials for confidence there).

Firms with billions in the bank (covers at least MSFT and AAPL) don't get to claim "we can't review these designs". Is the issue hiring? Pay more! Is the issue internal prestige? MGMT gets what it communicates is valuable.

And if the choice is between the web collapsing (current trajectory, aligned w/ FruitCo strategy) and thriving, is it only legitimate to get to thriving if Mozilla MGMT concedes it might be a good idea?
