Google Chrome: coming to Sonys soon

Google has inked a deal with Sony to have Google Chrome pre-installed on some of the firms notebooks.

Google Chrome currently accounts for just 2.6% of the web browser market. The deal is Google's first Chrome distribution agreement with a hardware maker but it won't be the last.

Google Chrome OS is set for release in early 2010 and is expected to be offered as an option by a number of netbook makers including Asus.

I am using google chrome and its really good. Its fast! But for a first timer it is very different from Windows Explorer! Google Chrome is more like safari than Explorer!

I have tried it, but it has a funny resolution which is the same as firefox, i use safari 4 on vista, the best of both.
