Inside Google Chrome - Google's Intent to Crush IE
From Meineck.Net, 4 months ago,

So, practically everyone on the internet is talking about Google Chrome right now, and I'm writing this article using it.
My findings are that it's really fast to use, the interface although slightly weird in the blue hue makes sense with it's simplicity and tabs being above the address bar, and the install was a dream. Also, simply count how long it takes to load - faster than Firefox, faster

After attending NxtGenUG Fest 08 last week in my old office at Microsoft UK HQ, Thames Valley Park, I was particularly excited to hit the ground running with a topic presented by Dave Sussman, ASP.NET Dynamic Data.
