Somebody agrees with my Chrome prediction

When Google introduced its' Chrome browser, I posted a short article on my thoughts (see Thoughts on Google Chrome). One of my conclusions was that the browser which would most feel competitive pressure would by FireFox.

"...If my browsing patterns are common, though, then Firefox will suffer more. In the end, Firefox and Chrome may just duke it out..."

Today I read an article with a similar conclusion. I'm happy that someone out there agrees.

The article, though, overlooks the primary reason why IE will remain the dominate browser; the fact remains that a huge library of browser based applications are not cross-browser (case in point, my team's products). This software is not aimed at the consumer or deployed on the World Wide Web. Instead the applications are deployed on corporate intranets around the world, assuring that IE remains the browser of choice for IT departments.
