I unistalled IE8 as it crashed whenever i was navagating Skysports.com i tried to trace the error, i think it's something to do with a share voilation but i can't be certain... Back to IE7

Chrome seems ok already at 78/100 Acid3 but it will be interesting how good it is against security rememeber the days where FF said they were the best and the most secure browser....

I find Chrome to be better than Firefox, but other than that I don't really like it. It needs a lot of work; IE8 and Opera are better imho.

@Slimy: As nikhil mentions, Chrome is launching today. Maybe we'll leave it a day or so before posting. More time for you to guess though :)

lol we pretty much bend every rule we can get our hands on ;), but in this case I think he was talking about #5.

I think I'm missing something; I reviewed the manifesto, but I don't know which one exactly you guys are bending.

Which is it?

@artfudd, you won't get the download notice for a while if you click the "download now" button

RE: "..the “download now” button only goes to get.live.com." -- but when I got that notice, I did click on that link and then clicked the "Get it free" button, reinstalled it and then I didn't get the notice anymore. Just to be sure, I opened and closed Writer several times and still did not get the notice.
