The Chrome Wars ...

Well, for goodness sake.  About the same time I downloaded Google Chrome as my web browser, the daughter downloaded Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).  I rather like Chrome and I am hoping it wont be too long till it will be supported by Exit Reality.  (Yay!)  Maybe it is just the fact that it is not a Microsoft thing.  Actually, I have always been supportive of Microsoft and its ideas, when everyone else has been very anti.  I don't like reading nasty things about Bill Gates, especially if it is personal. I think his building of Microsoft has been an inspiring story.  

However, when we have gone to use IE8 on the daughter's computer, when clicking on the icon a message comes up informing us Google Toolbar is not supported.  Sure enough, if you do a "Google Search", you can still use the search engine, however,  you cannot connect to any of the websites.  

Now I have heard of some childish things before, any parent has (lol).  But seriously this is one of the  most pathetic things I have ever come across.  It is only a backlash against google for bringing out the beta version of Chrome at the time Microsoft was bringing out IE8.  If IE8 is so good it should be able to stand alone without the makers resorting to this sort of childish payback behaviour.  

I also notice in Chrome, when I go to access my Hotmail, that a warning comes up that I should update my browser.  

Guys, get over it.  Microsoft will always rule the world, you do not need to resort to this kind of childish behaviour.  Just fix things so that it all works fine both ways.  Find ways to get along.  The Chrome browser is probably here to stay, I like it and I know plenty of people who do as well.  But business wise, they will always use IE xxx because it is the industry standard.  

Tell you what, once it supports Linux and Macintosh (Apple) I think I will change the whole hog.

For crying in a bucket ...
