Install google chrome on windows 2000

Navjot Singh, if you could provide me with a vbscript that would directly place the values in the. I guess there might be more chrome fans with windows if the windows owners could try it. Playing around with special HW could prove to be costly with later-than-win2k windows systems, because there is bound to be quite a number of reinstallations.

Had to restart before Chrome would run with out crashing on start up. Screw that I have moved on to Fedora linux. Much nicer and faster on my pc than windows Version 0.

No more user string changes or use of registry hack to make IE in work as […]. How to Download Google Chrome in Windows ? Now with Windows Vista I and several others tried again. Still no improvements if you let your self be fooled by the new looks, and only look at real functionality. I manage 2 real sites one for the common basic user picture sharing and web-logs and one for more advanced users source-code forum, GPS-tools, Photo -camera new.

Sounds to me that only the people that don't know their stuff use windows XP or Vista. So I don't agree, I want Google to support Windows too! Oh, and all the solutions like making you system simulate Windows XP do work for installation, but Chrome still won't work. I'm afraid I'm not in agreement with this. If a Japanese blogger can write a hack for win 2k in just days after it's released.

It can't be that hard to make Chrome compatible with w2k. If one uses the PC for serious work W2K gives you all you need and it is fast, stable and small too. Intel's Wireless routines run fine. So does everything else except Explorer 7 and Chrome. I am a long term user of google mail. So, Google, why not a leetle beet of effort for the generation that built the foundations on which you seem to rest your laurels?

I would suspect they mainly windows 2k users consist of Businesses and people who do not feel the need to update their now very operating system. The very fact that windows 2k users are using windows 2k would suggest that they are not early adaptors of software.

I would expect the take up a new browser that is currently only in BETA from these users to be tiny. Perhaps they will consider minority operating systems once the main product is finished? Are you serious. Please don't make these decisions on our behalf. Just release the product for 2K and above. I have not seen a need to upgrade my desktop since I moved to 2K and Firefox has been fine with me. Every google product has provided unique capabilities that made me want to use them and I attempted Chrome on similar lines.

I will not cross this barrier for the sake of this browser. I just cannot believe just what I am reading. Win2k is still a major OS, at least in Germany.

It is just as easy to install as xp, without a lot of the silly bugs that xp has, and a whole lot more secure. People don't like Vista, and don't trust it! In our computer club we have members, of which 81 are using win2k, are using xp, 26 are using Linux, only 6 use Vista, the rest use os like BSD. This is just in Northern Germany, but the figures are the same in other parts of Germany.

So, what is this telling us, that a lot more people are useing win2k than MS would like you all to know. Wake up, please! Mike P in Germany. Not supporting Windows sets a very bad precedent.

The only reason Chrome doesn't run happily on Windows is because they added a line of code to detect and refuse to run on it. This is the same as those stupid websites that detect browsers other than IE and refuse to display a page, even though alternative browsers will render it fine. I suspect that win2k is not supported due to DRM and future controlling mechanisms which will rendered useless by 2K and everything below.

It's nothing at all to build for backwards compatibility. W2k being the easiest of them all. If we were talking about W95 A, or win3. Chrome developers could simply give a list of Libraries, Controls, COM's that need to be patched or updated for use on 2K. I seriously doubt that problem stems from the 2K kernel. I work in embedded and know where there is a PDP that still controls a drill.

Custom hand built io cards too. The machine works and they have no reason to buy into an upgrade cycle. People who have installed Chrome are much more likely to visit.

Much better would be to see browser stats of how many people visit CNN, or Google itself, for that matter. Apparently there is no reason for Chrome not to be compatible with any operating as a MacOS and Linux versions would presumably already be in the making. These operating systems from the ground up have been designed with security in mind, rather then just reaching a large audiences If these "new" Windows security features are so vital to Chrome then the Chrome team will have to develop their own version of these new presumably build in security features to have them available on any of these non-Windows OS-es, which would also indicate the same could be done for W2K.

The main reason I still use W2K myself is that I still have early P4 systems that would become too slow running the newer versions of Windows. I do not believe that people should be forced to upgrade the hardware of perfectly good running systems, just so they can support an OS-es graphical features..?

Last time I checked what an "Operating System" is supposed to be is a reasonably secure and stable platform that controls the system's hardware and at the same time is a launching pad for any application you choose to install and run on that it The latest Windows version fitting that description would still be W2K, I'm afraid I, too, am a user of windows My hardware is actually sufficient enough to support windows XP, and with some minor upgrades Windows Vista, but I absolutely refuse and boycott both OS's.

Hardware that, I might add, most people still use. Test this on games that run on win98, win2k, and winXP. Win98 will actually have the fastest FPS, but is extremely buggy, thus a bad gaming machine.

I hope that, soon, microshit gets the message. Linux distro's tend to be fairly bloated, and I in fact almost destroyed my machine in frustration in attempting to use linux even though I knew what I was doing! Fact: Smart people hate Vista and sometimes winXP. Loads of peeps still use win2k its nice and stable. There is no way I will touch vista. May update on 7 but perhaps linux distros will beat.
