[...] year ago, when it was just released, I wrote that Chrome is not a browser, but platform for online applications. Nowadays surfacing details on upcoming Chrome OS only reinforce that [...]

Well speed is clearly not something Firefox excels at. It is quite heavy browser even in v3 that got plenty of performance improvements.

IE will suck as long as Microsoft thinks it has upper hand. Which will be for a long time I think.

I had no resource issues with Chrome but hadn’t tried recent versions.

What do you think about Opera by the way? :)

I still prefer firefox because of it’s speed and the multitude of Add-ons that it provides. If I ever had to change, I would rather choose IE instead of GChrome because it shuts my PC out by killing all system resources.

>That’s so… Microsoft. :(

Haha, you’re right. :) But they do let you send emails using another non hotmail address.

Chrome appears to be a resource hog on my computer.

As for forwarding from hotmail to gmail it’s not possible. They only let you do it between 2 hotmail accounts.

Forward hotmail one to gmail (it does support forwarding I hope :) )? As I remember gmail even lets you send emails with another non-gmail address.

Agreed… Outlook is reaaaly slow… but it’s the only mail client which does everything I need, I have two accounts, gmail and hotmail and as you know only MS products can use hotmail :(

it also has good calendar and contact manager… I’m waiting for Live Mail 3 though… that will pretty much be a light version of outlook including calendar integration so should be good. I used to use it but had lots of errors with gmail… search in Live mail is so much faster then outlook though… I have no idea why.
