Google Chrome...bundled with RealPlayer?!

Is this a good move?: I haven't yet come up with any reason to install Chrome on my system, as we already have a plethora of browser choices, and I tend to classify Google's other software as crapware. I do wonder about aligning with a software company as universally disliked as Real. I know that most of us in IT have been wiping RealPlayer on sight for the last few years, or outright blocking it on our networks. How is this a good move for Google?

Besides, am I the only one who finds this practice of throwing in toolbars and browsers by default when installing unrelated software and updates infuriating?; Posted by: itpro_z Posted on: 03/05/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
