Google's Chrome is shiny, new, and launched today

In the latest salvo in the rapidly escalating nerd war between titans of the industry Microsoft and Google, the search engine has launched its own Web browser, Chrome, just hours ago. Google is used for an estimated 75 percent of all Web searches, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer is used for about 70 percent of all Web surfing. The two companies are increasingly competing on many fronts, from email to calendars to word processors. And we appear to be witnessing what once seemed unthinkable: Microsoft losing ground.
Chrome aims to be faster, safer, less buggy, more convenient and more suited to the Internet of today, according to Google developers, and integrates tab-based browsing, Google Gears, and a new function that combines a search and address box called the Omnibox. And it's free, so why not check it out? It could be another one of those great free tools that your district can use.
