When migrating users between operating systems. Say, a company decides to migrate all its office workers from Windows to Linux. Or if somebody installs Ubuntu on a Windows machine on its own; I believe they try to migrate settings when you do that. One goal of Chrome was to make operating systems not matter; one way to do that is to make the profile file (mostly) portable. - Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
