[THIN] Re: Google Chrome Browser first impressions

Well I can't see how it is going to be lightweight if it is going to be so network intensive.  The app calls home frequently to google to get vulnerability updates every 30 minutes and check for updates tot the program every 25 hours. Imagine the traffic this would cause on 1000 systems across an enterprise!

I am betting that it won't be long before we start seeing plugins etc for the browser.  It is after all still a beta, and a first beta at that.
Its also supposed to be clean and lightweight. Could it be anywhere near as light if it was stuffed full of a million plugins etc?

Apparently no plugins/add ons are available with this version.  Note Google Lively doesn't even work with it!

This is exactly why I subscribe to this list, Thanks Jim for being a guinea pig, sorry most large software companies make us beta test for them L

To comment on the MS and 'taxes' and all that stuff, I think MS has their issues, as does Mac, depending on your spot in the scheme of course will depend on your take, I have 5 windows 2000/2003 servers, 2 CentOS servers and a very large Mac (server?!?) well not really a server. We run AD, so anyone in my boat I am sure has plenty of words for Apple regarding connecting a Mac to an AD network, in a word, it 'sucks'. My wish list item is that MS would add the feature that Adobe has where you can de-activate software on one computer so you can move it to another. Very nice. J

And I personally believe once Google gets everything set, we will start seeing fees for 'premium' services.
