Google Apps Blog:
Chrome delivers the fastest Google Apps experience and protects users against phishing and malware on the web. This browser is now available for download with support for the following administrator functionality:
MSI Installer: A standalone installer that allows admins to install the Chrome browser at a system-level across the organization.
Group Policies: These allow admins to configure common behaviours across the organization such as default search provider, default homepage and many more.
Policy Templates: ADM and ADMX templates are included in order to help admins easily configure these policies that manage security and privacy including the ability to disable auto-updates.
That sound was your nerdy IT admin falling over in his chair. I'm sure his sweater vest is fine, though. No worries.
I like to think I'm "hip" to current technologies. I'm on the "cutting edge". With that said, I LOVE me some Chrome. For those not in the know, Chrome is like Internet Explorer, but good. Sure, sure, there are people that will be saying, "no way man, IE is the best browser out there." Possibly Andrew, "Ballmer Jr.", Levin.
My problem is that IE often doesn't render the most modern websites. It doesn't yet support some of the more modern tools that websites use to display content. Google Chrome is usually leading the way in this respect. So it's nice to see Chrome getting an official "For Business" addition to their stable.
