Google last week released a beta version of an internet browser, called Chrome. It is free and it is truly is a beta. It can be downloaded at http://gears.google.com/chrome/ It is extremely fast, but does have numerous issues that still will need to be resolved. One of the goals of the project is to be extremely small. The download was less than 1 megabyte and was very quick to install. It loaded my Google home page very quickly and all the feeds seemed to work properly. When I went to my SharePoint Server, the webpages did not display properly. When I went to edit the SharePoint site, it appeared to work properly, something that does not work properly in Fire Fox. It does have some issues with Google online word processor and there is a page of known problems. I believe that when Google puts out the next version it will be much improved. Currently it only is available for XP and Vista platforms, but will be available soon for Mac and Linux. Below is a screen capture using Jing.
