Got a screengrab anywhere? And you're right. Things like the Chrome comic, are totally aimed at the geeks like us who understand things like processes and javascript etc. But it's we, geeks that usually assume (or have foisted upon them) the role of 'family IT boffin'. It is us who set-up, fix, restore and advise when it comes to computers and the net. It is us who defrag, debug and de-virus(?) their crappy Windows machines, pulling Aunties, Unlces, Mums and Dads from the brink of malware hell. Thus, if Chrome meets our picky standards then it is also us who will install it as their default browser and say 'when you want on the internet, just click on Google Chrome from now on'. I've drank the kool-aid and find it fruity and delicious. I bloody love Google Chrome. I’m interested in seeing this pretty XP skin you’re using. Got a screengrab anywhere?

However, even Microsoft itself doesn't seem to care about operating system interface consistency any more - certainly not on the evidence of Windows Media Player 11, anyway. Google's just following the trend. It used to bug me that Apple applications ignored the Windows XP look and feel.
