Man, this thing is fast. Good job, Google guys. With this kind of Web app speed, we’re now one step closer to complete cloud computing.

There’s a hack, but consumer software shouldn’t require a hack.

One thing that I don’t see mentioned is that Chrome doesn’t install into the Program Files folder. It installs into the user’s Documents and Settings folder. Of course, this means no out of the box global install for all PC users. I’m not sure if this will fly in a business setting.

You’re probably the only one on the entire planet to have that much difficulty installing a straightforward-install app like Chrome.

Kev, who replied just above me, also reported the same thing. Although I do not know how to revert back to SP2 that fast (How did you do that Kev?)

Anyway, I am using SP3 but never had problems. My anti-virus is NOD32. I’ve read in other discussions that Chrome is having issues with certain Anti-Virus and related applications, and yes conflicts.

I’m using windows xp sp2. I installed google chrome this morning. It worked great. Then I decided to upgrade to sp3 and chrome stopped working. It simply wouldn’t run. I rolled back to sp2 and it started working again. Not sure what the issue is, but I’m guessing there’s a conflict with sp3.

When you see blue text that is underlined, it’s a hyperlink.

Time to get a MAC if that POS you’re working on can’t handle a standard installer. (Better to blame your PC than admit to pilot error, right?)

When you see an alternative to Microsoft’s Internet Destroyer, take it.

It’s outrightly misleading to leave a statement like “I’ve wasted a whole morning just trying to get the thing to work” without caveat or qualification. It gives the impression that Chrome is a bad product, which it is not.

First, define “Services”:

1.1 Your use of Google’s products, software, services and web sites (referred to collectively as the “Services” in this document and excluding any services provided to you by Google under a separate written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Google. “Google” means Google Inc., whose principal place of business is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of that agreement.

Second, the issue:

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services.

1) The word “through” was used.
2) Google Chrome is a “product” of Google and thus is included in “Services”

In other words,
“By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.”

means Google CAN do all of those to YOUR CONTENT which you submit, post or display on or THROUGH, the Services (example: Google Chrome).
