I've never known Google to try to force any product or service on anyone (except the stuff that happened when they introduced Buzz to Gmail), so I have a hard time believing there wasn't an option somewhere to not install Chrome when installing Google Earth. I think they learned their lesson with Buzz. Matter of fact, I think I'll install Earth on this machine and see what happens. I won't eat my hat if I'm wrong, though. ;)

I use Chrome, it's pretty good. But I chose to use it, I didn't have it forced on me by Google. They are really being stupid by forcing it on people.
