[WSG] google chrome on windows 98?

2009-04-21 Thread tee

Anybody knows if Google Chrome can run on Windows 98 and W2K?

Google is aggressively promoting google chrome, I see it puts a big  
icon for ie6 on google page.


A few of my clients have visitors from South Africa and a few Eastern  
Europe countries, the IE6 user is higher (over 30%), even my site  
which attracts people from many countries and the IE6 stat has jumped  
up (use to be like 10% but now is 20 - 25%) despite that I have a 'you  
are seeing this message because you use IE6' message.


This is very depressing as it indicates that this browser still isn't  
going to die by the end of 2009. So I am really curious if Google  
Chrome can help speed up the death of IE6.

I don't, but...

I'm currently consulting at a Very Big Software Company where the
IT-standardized PC image installed on all systems, currently, is
Windows XP with IE6. Yes, IE6, and most users are not given admin
authority over their systems to install/upgrade software.

So I don't think Chrome is going to change that situation :-)

FWIW,
