The Google Chrome EULA has many privacy issues that may affect state
agencies. But these could be issues for businesses as well. I recall a
similar issue with the Desktop program which after replacing the very
nice and non-evil Deskbar search basically mapped your computer and any
connected servers (with company/organization/agency data on them) if you
let it. Many users allow it to do this without any concern and the IT
people have to gauge how vigilant to be regarding this usage. Any sense
about the extent of the information mapped that is transmitted back to
google - is all of it? Does the browser have any of the same issues
considering that as I understand it Google used an old version of WebKit
and Chrome is full of security holes.
