Awesome article. I feel like the most game changing part of chrome is that Google turned it into a web app, that is it is always up to date and you never have to install anything (compared to the mess that is IE 7-10). Everyone gets the next network improvements / security fixes. It is so simple and mind boggling at the same time. I know this isn't the main point of the article, but dealing with microsoft stuff recently really hammers this point home.
- alyx 14y agoIE 10 is auto updated as part of Windows Update, is that too messy too?
- SigmundA 14y agoRequires Win7 SP1 higher first. Chrome only needs WinXP SP2, while still supporting Mac and Linux. This is a big deal at least with my customers. It's just silly that Chrome has broader Windows support than IE. IE should not be so dependent on the base OS.
- harshaw 14y agoI am sure IE10 support will be better but MS is burdened by their decision to limit IE9+ to windows 7 and newer. I read through the MS article on their new automatic upgrade policy and it seems mostly focused on security (for good reason). What is clear is that the chrome development organization is built to release all the time in perpetuity (just like web, mobile development). Not sure this is true for MS.
- mbell 14y agoThat depends - Is IE10 one of the many components in Windows that obnoxiously requires the entire system to reboot after an update?
- arocks 14y agoNeeding to reboot after installing an update or being nagged to death about it, that is definitely messy.
- aviraldg 14y agoYes, it is.
