When we design websites, it’s always interesting to know how the web browsers perform. According to a “lab research”, we found out that Windows 7 RTM really enhanced a lot comparing to Windows Vista. However, it still can’t beat its “elder brother” Windows XP, especially when with XP SP3. According to this index, on average testing for web browsers, XP SP3 is 13% faster than Windows 7 RTM and 29% faster than Windows Vista SP2. The gap between Microsoft’s new system and XP is obviously smaller, but will some day they can win the battle with the competitor that was born in 2001?

On the other hand, it’s not surprised that Microsoft’s two latest internet browsers, IE 7 and IE8, are the two slowest browsers, on their OWN platforms. Overall in all these, Google Chrome, in version 2 or 3, have the best performance in all 3 systems.

The highly anticipated HTC Magic & Dream will now be shipping to North Americans at your nearest Future Shop on June 2nd. Looks like Canadians will get a piece of their own Android-powered device before hitting the summer.

Today, it’s not hard to see this “Google Chrome” on most IT websites. Well, if you have not yet taken a look, click this site:

Google Chrome, Google? Browser Project

My first thought was, OH NO. Does that mean as a web designer, I have to take care of one more browser since tomorrow? Right now, Microsoft’s IE has 79% of the market, FF 12%, Apple’s Safari 6% and Opera 3%. Chrome is said to be the browser that Google pushes out to fight against Microsoft’s IE. Will that happen? Who knows. There is no doubt that Google is very successful online; but, don’t forget Google has failed a lot too.

When I took a deeper look at the brief descriptions and the comic of Google Chrome. I found the interface very interesting as well as some unique features.

I will definitely try it out when Google releases this new baby for the digital world.
