Microsoft bids $44.6B to buy Yahoo (2008)

On the other hand, the author's statement flies in the face of the reality that Chrome's market share at the end of the year was ~1%. ;-)

Chrome was launched in Sep 2008.
It's really, really hard to move market share quickly.

It absolutely is. I'm not suggesting that Chrome was a failure by any means. I'm suggesting that it was far from a broad phenomenon that people just clicked "install" when Google launched it.
