Google 2.0
John Rhodes over at WebWord has once again bashed an irritating nail smack dab on its little round head. He offers some tantalizing food for thought on how a Google-based information retrieval client could help pry the latest user experience choke-hold away from Microsoft. I am particularly enamored with the concept of using Microsoft’s own browser extension API to, as John puts it, “shanghai the entire Microsoft desktop” and “hide the ugly parts”. Of course, this latest rash of monopolistic browser silliness only applies if you’re running the Windows version of Explorer — which I’m not. Still, it makes for an interesting ponder, doesn’t it?
