There’s no Chrome for mac yet either, at the launch event Sergey Brin said he had been running it in vmware because the mac build wasn’t usable.
I think they just released the windows beta to coincide with the 10th birthday celebrations. It will come. It is useless without adblock anyway so we are not missing out yet.
Good luck with the show, I’m working backwards through them and it’s great. More debate and discussion please not just news, or at least more opinions about the news. That’s why LugRadio was so cool.
