Office 2010 Activation Google gets more aggressive

Microsoft officials have mentioned they need to encourage organizations operating older versions of Web Explorer (IE) — especially the very non-Web-standards-compliant IE 6 — upgrade to a newer browser version.But Google has gone a step beyond that by introducing a plug-in that runs Google Chrome inside IE.The new Google Chrome Frame is designed to work on IE 6, IE 7 or IE 8. But it seems to be especially targeted at IE 6 users,Office 2010 Product Key, who are running an eight-year-old browser.As Microsoft and other company watchers have noted, many organizations won;t allow their users to move off IE 6 because of internal standardization and deployment policies. (The “if you are running anything other than IE 6,Windows 7 32bit, you;re on your own” school.)Tech Crunch talked with a couple of the Google engineers behind the project. From Tech Crunch;s write-up:“Yes,Microsoft Office Pro 2010, it’s both hilarious and awesome (or hilariously awesome, if you will) that Google seems to dislike IE so much that it has spent its own time improving it. Google claims its goals are noble. Talking to Group Product Manager Mike Smith and Software Engineer Alex Russell, they tell us that they simply would like to make a more seamless web experience for both net users and developers. That said, they are only targeting one browser,Office 2010 Activation, IE, right now.”(Tech Crunch doesn;t mention that Google Chrome;s market share is hovering under three percent.)Microsoft has taken a cautious approach to getting IE 6 users to upgrade — understandable given the large percentage of IE customers who are corporate users. But there;s no question the Redmondians would love to have to support fewer different variations of IE, too.From an August blog post by IE General Manager Dean Hachamovitch:“We’ve blogged before about keeping users in control of their PCs, usually in the context of respecting user choice of search settings or browser defaults. We’ll continue to strongly inspire Windows users to upgrade to the latest IE. We will also continue to respect their choice, because their browser is their choice.”Microsoft recently has been offering to donate the equivalent of sixteen meals to the poor every time someone upgrades from Online Explorer 6 to Online Explorer 8.I;ve asked Microsoft whether the IE team has any response to Chrome Frame. No word back yet. (And I;ll be kind of surprised if there is any….)Google;s Chrome Frame introduction, in spite of its engineers comments,Cheap Office 2010, is anything but an altruistic act. Do you think Chrome Frame will get Chrome much new traction?
