Windows 7 and Google Chrome Browser update

It’s been a couple of months since I first installed Windows 7 and Google Chrome and although I had planned to provide an earlier update, things got pretty busy through December and I am only now coming up for air. So here, at last, is the long-promised update.

Windows 7 upgrade experience

We have 4 Windows boxes at home. Three are HP 32-bit notebooks and the other one is an HP 64-bit machine – mine. We bought all 4 machines during the course of this year and all came with Windows Vista. We have had no end of trouble with Vista. The machines work fine, but a lot of applications generate exceptions and hang under Vista that work fine on my XP box. So I decided to believe Microsoft’s advertizing (probably a big mistake) that indicates that Windows 7 has been thoroughly tested.
For the most part, this upgrade went smoothly even if it took an inordinate amount of time. The machines are more stable than they were before and they seem to be faster. Internet Explorer performs much better and even Firefox is behaving pretty decently.
So far so good.
