Well, I was able to download Chrome this morning and am using it at this moment. It reminds me a bit of Firefox (no offense there Google…) and it has some of the same difficulties displaying web-based interfaces for some older business applications that were most likely designed with IE in mind.

I’m not knocking Google, just pointing out that Chrome & Firefox probably weren’t around when the developers created these interfaces.

I just downloaded Chrome and started using it, and so far so good. It has some useful features, too!

James I think your statement is also a testament to the halo effect Google is able to take advantage of, people expect their program to be good and thus are far more likely to try it in a positive mind frame. :)

Scott, I can’t wait to try Chrome, too. I do like Firefox, but it will be nice to try Google’s take on a web browser.

James, I love the words you chose to describe the Google and Microsoft brands – so true! :)

I’ve tried Netscape, Opera, Firefox as an alternative to IEEEEEE and now I’ll have to give Chrome a try. Maybe I’ll finally reach web nirvana.

Google has done much better branding it’s company than Microsoft. When you think Google, you think easy. When you think Microsoft you think crash. I can’t wait to try the new web browser, although Firefox ain’t THAT bad….
