NEWSWATCH: The web browser wars are heating up with the launch sometime today, Tuesday, 2 September 2008, of the Windows version of Google Chrome, Google's new open source browser. According to various media reports, Google prematurely emailed its comic book explanation to a blogger, who promptly published it online under Creative Commons licence. The launch comes hot on the heels of the release of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8.
