What would a Google investment in Maxthon mean to Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| TechCrunch reported on April 10 that Maxthon had sold a minority
| stake of approximately $1 million to Google and that the investment
| "is part of a 'much larger strategic deal' between the two companies."

| Given Google's close partnership with Mozilla, would a Google-backed
| Maxthon dump the IE engine in favor of Gecko, the rendering engine at
| the heart of Mozilla? Or would Google be more likely to push for
| Maxthon to remain IE-based, giving Google a stronger foothold in
| the IE browser marketplace?
