  4. I'm sure Microsoft have done the right thing and filed bug reports for all the security issues they found specifically for Google Chrome, since they indicate it's worse than normal. That should help fix that part of the problem.

    Hmmm.... guess it's time to wake up now. :(

  5. Well they're going to be a little defensive, since Google frame has a good chance of killing IE
