I added to my desktop shortcuts right next to Internet Explorer and Firefox.
I tend to use Firefox heavily for social media marketing campaign execution because of the add-ons and Google Platform integration, however I now have Google Chrome open instead of Internet Explorer to have my personal mail and other applications available.
I can definitely see where they are going with their platform direction. I will be setting up computers that I get for free and donate to non-profits and kids with Google OS and Google Chrome.....it is a great base.
