At Google we’re always trying to make the web a better platform. That’s why we’re working on Native Client, a technology that aims to give web developers access to the full power of the client’s CPU while maintaining the browser neutrality, OS portability and safety that people expect from web applications. Today, we’re sharing our technology with the research and security communities in the hopes that they will help us make this technology more useful and more secure.

So, what is this all about? Is it a shot at MS’s .net, or to re-invent Java? Or is this the dropping of the other “shoe” which will combine with Google Chrome and Google Gears to run “Native Client Apps”? There’s been a few comments and questions about it already.

Read more about it, with links to Google Developer Site and Google Groups to share your thoughts.
