Stephen, Yes I am running it without any problems. The only real complaint I have is that you have to remember to keep clearing out downloads else the file gets pretty big.
Best wishes for Christmas and New Year

I haven't tried it yet, but Ted mentions using it with great success in the thread below this one. I have also heard good things about it from others.

Google Chrome is pretty good so far. I'm using it off an on, and I immediately noted how much faster things load with it. It's not a bloated as other browsers (IE8). I haven't used it long enough to encounter any real problems with it. But at face value, it seems very good. Your results may vary. :)

I find it to be much quicker to launch than firefox (which has become quite bloated) and dont come across too many compatibility issues. Another great feature is that if the google search engine has encountered malware/spyware on a website that it crawls, this information is available to chrome and you will get a 'are you sure you want to proceed?' screen prior to actually accessing the site.

This feature, of course, should not replace dedicated software to keep you safe (ie antivirus/malware/firewall) but I was pleasantly surprised when I encountered this feature for the first time.
