SI: VAIO to Include Google Chrome as a Default Browser

[Christopher]

After becoming real tight friends with Google in collaboration of its Reader line up with Google’s library of free books, Sony is returning a favor to big G by installing Chrome as a default browser on its newest VAIOs. I have witnessed it on VAIO W series as well as NW so far. According to FT: “The deal with Sony, which involves shipping Chrome on new Vaio PCs, is the first the internet company has struck with a computer maker. …the arrangement was “experimental” and part of wider efforts to boost distribution.”

Let’s see what big M$ can bring to the table, as it looks like Google is looking for the same deal with other PC makers.

Well, currently like many ,I'm using Firefox ,though it tends to hang at startup with too many bookmarks .THats why I'm testing Chrome too .

They didn't ship it with my CS series .Maybe because I bought it in June .

Is that before or after switching to 3.5x? I heard some bad stuff about Firefox's new major release and have put off switching until they fixed the bugs. I haven't noticed any problems with the older version which is now at 3.0.13.

I have been using 3.5 regularly now for a while without any issues whatsoever on Vista and Windows 7. Chrome is ok but i didn't like how many processes it was using in task manager..

With both the versions before 3.5 and after upgrading to 3.5 as well .I have a bad habit of bookmarking everything I like.
