I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 RC on a Shuttle xpc box. 64 bit. The first application I installed is Chrome. There is no need to add the in process plugin argument anymore to the chrome. It works just fine after the installation. This box is connected to my TV using HDMIvideo and SPDIF audio. I had Vista on it until now. Vista wouldn’t play DTS or Dolby Digital through the Denon AVI. Windows 7 played both right after the first boot. No driver installation nothing required. The display on the TV is much better than that was on Vista.

Chrome wins again?

I clicked on a link from Google search in Chrome and got the following error. It detected that the site has malware linked to it. I opened the same site on IE and it just showed me the site. No detection, no warning, nothing. Another question I have is, if Google already knows (it has indexed the site) there is malware hosted on the site, why it is appearing in the search list? At least there should be a warning. That way users from other browsers would know that it is not safe to click that link. Do no evil doesn’t mean do no good either. Damn competition. Anyway, it doesn’t look like anything was harmed. 

All day I was clicking links in Chrome to see how it handles malware. Here is a real malware almost blocked by Chrome. It would still go ahead if I gave permission. Avast detected the malware too.
