    Just downloaded Google Chrome on XP and it is super fast.

    I read on another forum that it is only available for XP and Vista.

    I'm posting from it right now...

    So far I like it, especially the well thought out object model.

    I was just complaining today about how firefox gets tangled up with other tabs because it's not multithreaded and the devs seem to want it that way.

    This goes even further, and gives each tab and each plugin on each tab it's own process, with it's own process manager. I like that to no end.

    hi,

    just an update and maybe a bit of usefull info, when i found that chrome was not compatable with w2k (i opened the installer and it told me straight away), i just deleted the installer and alls ok

    not that simple

    i have just booted into w2k (i dual boot with linux as my primary operating system)

    my zonealarm firewall informed me that googleupdate.exe wants to connect to the internet,

    googleupdate.exe is also running as a process

    this line has been added to my startup entries (noted via hijackthis)

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Google Update] "C:\Documents and Settings\dave\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe" /c

    all offending files and entries have now been deleted

    i think that for something thats not designed for windows 2000 and won't run on windows 2000 that this is a bit ..... odd
