Comment #3 on issue 10593 by [email protected]: Chrome does not  
open .doc/.ppt/.xls files
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10593

Adobe Acrobat has a plugin, thats why it works. This is still not a feature  
that Chrome
should be born with. The user himself should install said plugin. Microsoft  
Office
installs serveral ActiveX components that Internet Explorer and many other  
applications
use to show the related documents.

I don't know how or why it works in Firefox, but I do believe that Chrome  
should not be
born with such a feature. It should instead be the job of a plugin.
