Chrome gets Mac deadline, extensions foundation

I was really excited by Chrome's announcement and very disappointed by the delay in getting a Mac version. I think the delay comes down to two things:<p>1. Mac users are already using standards compliant, fast JS browsers. That means that Chrome's gotta bring something else to the platform, whereas on Windows it's already so much better than IE.<p>2. Google ultimately plans on dumping a lot of money in the laps of OEMs to get Chrome installed as the default browser. That's not going to happen on the Mac.
