Running Google Chrome on a Windows PC

Google Chromium OS

When Google Android OS for mobile phones appeared and also Google created the Chrome browser, even before they announced the coming of an operating system, many of us already guessed it, Google will come out with it’s own operating system. And after news after news from bloggers, finally Google Chrome OS came out.

Google Chrome OS will be installed on various computers by the end of next year as an OEM software and since this uses cloud technology, it should run fast with less computing power requirements on processor speed, memory and disk space. But if you want to try the operating system now, you can install the open source version, Chromium OS.

It is probably not the right time to abandon your current operating system and jump on Google’s Chromium OS right away, of course being brand new, there can still be a lot of driver issues and also software support problems. So if possible, we would want to just try this on a dummy PC for testing purposes, but not everyone has an extra computer to play around with and install anything on it. So as a solution to get familiarize with the Chromium Operating System, you can install this on top of Microsoft Windows to get a peek in the new OS. Read the Google Chrome OS installation procedure step by step on the following page.

I first saw Danny Sullivan’s Tweet talking about Barry Schwartz’ post on Google Chrome usage.

First posted by Michael Arrington on TechCrunch, stating that Google Analytics will not detect Google Chrome right away, and once it did, TechCrunch posted their Analytics user browser’s data. RustyBrick followed with their post on SearchEngineLand and was inviting the public to post theirs.

Sharing our Google Chrome Stats

Google Chrome Usage on BusinessOnLine's website visitors.

Only 0.25%, less than 1% of BusinessOnLine’s visitors use Chrome. I am even quite surprised Firefox is higher than IE. Does this mean there are more competitors looking at our site than potential corporate clients? :p Hehe

Google Chrome – The Google Web Browser

September 3rd, 2008 by Benj Arriola


Over the long weekend, Tweets from SEO Tweeters have been passed left and right all about Google Chrome. When I checked my emails, mailing groups are talking about it too, not only SEO email groups but also blogging, web design and other groups I am a member of. Although this is a Google product, this is not just about search.

Google Chrome is a new Internet web browser

After seeing all the tweets, I searched Google Chrome to download and give it a spin. The top results were Google books comic strip and also a blog post by GoogleBlogoscope, the unofficial Google blog. And I just bypassed all information, did not read it right away and just kept searching for the download link and install. I’ll just figure out what Google Chrome does after I install it without reading the numerous blog post, features & benefits of the browser. Knowing Google, everything should be intuitive and easy to use, easy to figure out things.
