I've heard as much, but their products continue to be highly unstable
under linux, so I somewhat doubt this. It's been shite for me since
early 30's of releases, and just gets worse now.

This is 4000k proc, 32gb of ddr3, and ssd's - nothing slouch about this
system, and yet some software, like chrom* makes this thing behave like
windoze me at times, like just about any flipping compositor. Big or
little, their software is proving, microsoft-like, and disturbing it can
make linux freak out still this bad.
Case in point, vmware refuses to launch their view client for work
stuff, I can't even launch firefox to avoid chrome stupidity now until I
kill every google process and/or restart to flush everything. Here I
am rebooting to make it sane again for the moment. :\
Sadly I find using mozilla isn't fully sufficient for as much
integration around various google-app integrated things I rely on now,
I'm starting to feel that same m$-ish lock-in. Sub-par software
handling of most of my workflow under linux that perhaps I need to
rethink dependence on them and chrome as an application server.
