That is, industry watchers (and talkers) who will see this as a jab at Microsoft and will give them free publicity for it. It's a not-so-subtle way of re-introducing Chrome to the inertia-laden browser market. And for the record, I'm an IE user by default, who occasionally fires up FireFox. But lately, I'm becoming a big fan of Chrome for my blogging. WordPress just seems to run 3X faster on Chrome. I think the biggest audience for Google Chrome Frame is frankly, us.

Unless people really love the IE design so much that they don't want to lose that particular interface, I can't see this working well. I suppose Google are working for a niche market here, but it seems a bit pointless to me. [Personally, I got out of IE as soon as possible, and use Firefox] The only problem I can see with it is, if people are frustrated with IE, and they know about Google Chrome Frame, they probably also know about getting a totally new web browser – like Google Chrome.
