I subscribe to Redmond Press "Redmond Report" which is something of a news channel for Microsoft

This is what all reviews should aspire to.

It had all the information I wanted. I was well organized and I was able to consume it rapidly.

The summary was an excellent point and as a previous comment pointed out it was the key to any debate on the browser.

The technical information was good and not overwritten to the point that I bored (I'm an IT professional, but the stats on a browser that will probably never be used in an enterprise environment are of only passing interest to me) and well placed.

I like the writer of this review. He thinks like the average IT person. His priorities are well placed and thought out. And he has strong opinions, but doesn't rant like FF users and Linux dweebs, of which I am one of both.

I know this comment doesn't add anything, but I just had to compliment this article because I'm so tired of reviews that are just long winded blathering (like this comment, for example) by "experts" that wouldn't know multi-threaded processing from an advertisement on a Wheaties box.

Thanks for the review... I'd like to suggest renaming comparison table column headings. i deduce that FROM means the non-chrome browser and TO means chrome results? wouldn't it be easier to just label the columns with the name of the tested browser? i know, it's a nit...

the key of the whole "debate" on chrome is in your very last paragraph: "no compelling reason to switch". In other words, why bother?

My belief is that Google released Chrome to stop the Firefox growth and the use of adblock and flashblock to block ads. Google is highly dependent upon ad revenues, and they don't want a highly popular browser that blocks all their ads.
