Google chrome probably is the most interesting IT news recently. The search giant is making almost all there products successful in this internet era. And now they released a web browser~ Everyone is interested to see what will happen to the browser war: Firefox is doing batter and batter, IE is still No.1. So, what role will google chrome play?
I have installed Chrome on my company computer today. It even don’t need administrator privilege. Its interface is beautiful. It has tabs. It support Gears(of course…). And it’s fast. I am writing this post under Chrome now which is as comfortable as under FF3. This is amazing - considering it’s only a beta version of a newbie browser. I don’t know if this browser attracts IE users. But I am sure it will get users from FF comunity.
Haven’t tried Ubuntu for almost 2 years since I installed Ubuntu 6 on my desktop PC. I upgraded my hard driver to 160G last week thus there’s enough space to install a Ubuntu beside Vista. So I got Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron” installed.
The installation was quite straight forward and didn’t change to much. But the usability is much batter than v6. My wireless connection was successfully configured and connected. NTFS partitions were well supported. With additional codec installed, all of my musics and movies were played smoothly - even my iPod was recognized which was a big surprise to me. And the compz stuff is just awesome:
I think I will spend more time on linux than Vista from now on. Howday(again*-*) open source!
