kudos:4 | Sony to ship PCs with Google Chrome browser the default »www.google.com/url?q=http://gadg···-chrome/
Google’s Internet browser, Chrome, is about to achieve something of a coup over its rivals at Microsoft and Mozilla, as Sony has confirmed that Chrome will be the default browser choice on all of its Vaio computers sold in the United States going forward.
This Google/Sony alliance was preceded by another recently, when the two media companies made a deal to make more than a million public domain books available on Google Books for users of Sony’s e-book Reader devices.
Google told The Financial Times it was working with other companies to forge some similar deals Bad news for Microsoft. And maybe Google too as deals like this will make the anti-trust watchdogs in Washington start to give Google the fisheye from now on.

Hingham, MA | If I buy a Sony laptop, I'd do the same thing I'd do on any Windows laptop with IE preloaded, which is use whatever non-Firefox browser is on there to get Firefox. 
Since Firefox depends the least on being built into the OS (I don't think they have any deals of that sort, though it's often included with Linux) I don't think this is too big of a hit for Mozilla- however, MSIE, which depends in large part on inertia? |

Considering IE comes with Windows what are they going to do remove it? Sorry only I should be able to remove features from the OS. Not Sony. |

It just won't be the DEFAULT browser. The entries in the registry will be set to make Google Chrome the default.

kudos:1 | And it's a poor decision too IMO.
Chrome is not so much a browser as it is a tech demo. Slap Safari on it instead.
