Great first post <span style="color:rgb(78,78,78);font-family:'Myriad Pro', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">????</span>
I will give you the Gmail App (not that I use Gmail anymore), but Safari is better in my opinion. I do wish Apple would put the tabs on top. I use the reader function and off line reading a lot. Moreover, according to Little Snitch Chrome tried to call home every five minutes.
I just wish Apple would update Safari for Windoze. I have to use Windoze at work and my options are Chrome or IE. Let's be honest, IE doesn't work half the time so my options are Chrome.
This is one case I really don't see a problem with this "copying" unless there is a legitimate copyright, patent or trademark being violated that I'm not seeing here.
C'mon, Apple, please bring out your best. I've used Safari very little since Chrome came out for iOS.
We had to delete Chrome off all our work computers, the reason, it made our locked down systems susceptible to Trojans, someone missed the company wide memo to uninstall this trash.
The trojan that required tech support to pay a visit yesterday in order to perform a clean install of Windows as it could not be done remotely, was a nasty piece of work called XP Defender 2013
Common infection symptoms:
Blocks internet connection
Block exe files from running
Installs itself without permissions
Connects to the internet without permission
Normal system programs crash immediatelly
Slow internet connection
System crashes
Annoying Pop-up's
Slow Computer
Now we use Firefox, after initially trialling Chrome, to run more modern training modules based on Flash and HTML 5 on our XP based systems which need IE6 (recently made to run in a VM) to run legacy programs.

If the bolded is true, the world has changed a lot in the past decade.

On iOS I prefer Safari, if only for reader.
I'm not seeing how that is a Chrome issue. If it's about giving users access to installers you can always push the Chrome MSI to systems at regular intervals so the user isn't running the updates themselves. Google makes an enterprise version just for that purpose. There is also Chrome Frame which will give you the IE app with the Chrome WebKit engine which I find to be a great fit, especially on newer versions of IE.
This should provide Apple with leverage in its talks with media distributors. Either they will pull the rug out from under Google or offer equal terms to Apple. Should be interesting to watch.

We use what the company gives us, we cannot install anything, clearly Chrome provided an in for the trojan, probably by allowing the installation of Java (which is no longer installed) in it's "sandbox" by posing as a plug in.
These PC's are locked down tight, obviously the AV they use doesn't work too well.
Apple really should be alarmed at this stage of the game. Google clearly is setting up a very strong HALO effect with regard to apps and services to grab potential buyers from Apple.
-Gmail
-YouTube
-Maps
-Play Music
-Drive
-Capture
-Chrome
Much like how Apple scored loads of sales from iTunes, Quicktime, iPods and this helped move more iPhones and Macs, Google appears to be giving lot of free and useful software and apps away so that when the time comes, it isn't so hard to convince you to switch to Android. I forget who it was around here that was arguing that Apple had perfected vertical integration and there is no way the Mac vs PC fiasco could happen again. Every single one of those apps is proof Apple hasn't perfected it.

Why is that true now when it wasn't true the last few million times we heard it?
The only two people I know personally that had an issue with iTunes match were jail breakers who had who knows what on their devices.
Well I'm not a jailbreaker and iTunes Match has been a pretty low calibur service IMHO. Here are my issues:
- Play counts are not counted correctly (if at all)
- Smart Playlists don't update
- A third of my music in the iTunes Store but not purchased there was not matched
- Songs that were purchased in the iTunes Store didn't get upgrades
- 15 songs got hung up Matching and have never completed the process after two weeks (and multiple tries)
- No sync management via cord with iTunes Match turned on
- It doesn't really stream the tracks
- Lost ability to download a single track and can only download an entire album
- Artwork was lost or mismatched on hundreds of tracks and couldn't be changed
- Even with the service turned off I get warning EVERY TIME I add a song to a playlist that said playlist will be taken off iTunes Match
For all of these reasons and a few others iTunes Match has been 90% a waste of my time and money. A terrible service that I don't recommend to anyone. I've had the service turned off for months now and can't wait for my subscription to expire in January 2013.
In response to your query as to why Apple spends so much time litigating yet Google does not:
THIS
...is why.

Stop being ignorant. Google music has been around for a long time. In the past, you install a small music manager on your computer and it uploads songs to the cloud from whatever folder you specify. The only thing that Google has added with this update is the ability to stream the songs that are in the upload que from Google's copy while you wait for your copy to upload. This isn't even a major update. It just makes Google music work more quickly.
Edit: Dear Appleinsider, This is a slanderous article. Google music with 20,000 songs of cloud service has been around for a long time. Please make it clear in your article what the update actually added.

You mean the Apple Halo effect really means, if you copy Apple your business goes up? Wow. What a spin.

Are you blind? Read the first sentence. READ THE TITLE, even.
This is in no way "slander". It's not even ambiguous. If you can't understand what was added, that's your fault.

I know what the changes were because I've used Google music for a long time. But, it must not be clear in this article what Google music was before this update as evidenced by all of the comments.

Trust Google. Trust Eric Schmidt. Trust Larry Page.
He forgot, "I love Apple, but..."

Less than thrilled but I can't get any others.

It's fixed, it's not my problem.

Why? Why does their existence preclude that?
