Microsoft SQL 2008 Agent not starts

I was playing around with VMware vSphere ESXi 4.1 & vCenter 4.1 together with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 & Microsoft SQL 2008. I can login to my vCenter and everything seems to be work perfectly. Due to certain reason, I have rebooted the Windows server and the incident happen. The VMware Virtual Center service and SQL Agent do not start. The VMware vCenter service is highly depending on SQL Services before it can startup.

The SQL agent event log show as example below:

As you know Google Chrome browser was launched few day back. According to Google, Google Chrome is a open source browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier and only available for Windows XP and Vista.

Why? Why Google Chrome not support Linux or Mac yet? Why open source browser not working on open source operating system? In fact, Google engineers try to tell us they are working hard building Google Chrome versions for Mac and Linux too. But when and why?
