Hi John:

My one major complaint against chrome is that it is a real pig when it comes
to memory usage. FF is always excellent with memory. Most of my clients has
XP machines so IE10 is not in the mix.

I have had far more problems with Chrome than with any other browser. I have
no idea why. 

The only web public app where Chrome seems to noticeably outperform IE and
FF is Facebook(?). And, well, that's just not enough for me. I have an
office with 12 virtual terminal devices on one speedy workstation. We try to
get everyone to use Chrome (because its supposedly lighter on resources). As
I Walk through the office most people use IE, even after I've taken all the
shortcuts icons off except the menu structure. Apparently only computer
geeks like Chrome on a PC.

I personally don't like Chrome's sparse and restrictive UI. I don't like
that IE10 is following in its footsteps when loaded in Windows 8 tile mode.
I prefer to have a UI with parts that I can turn on/off to suit my personal
tastes. For instance, I prefer my RoboForm toolbar at the top. Call it years
of IE indoctrination but that's just my preference. I cannot do this with
Chrome. With Chrome it has to be an obstructing overlay on the bottom of the
window. I can have the way I want it with IE and FF. So for me Chrome is the
one which forces their way on me.

I'm liking Google less and less since Eric Schmidt took over as CEO. I
didn't care for him at Sun or Novell either. IMO he is to blame for making
Google just another "evil" technology company.

Hi Shamil

Oh yes, you are missing that IE-version-whatever per definition is and for
ever will be bad cruelware. Microsoft just can't write decent software. It's
that simple. To some.
