The site I was visiting (at CNET I think) did not give an option to save the program just to "install it".
Umm? Zune is a music player from Microsoft, Chrome is a web browser from Google. I think what you're reading about Zune is in regards to Microsoft's ill-fated music player, the Zune. In the case of the Zune, it's a good but not good enough to beat the iPod entry in the market. In the case of Chrome, odds are good that it'll be the same thing for them.

It's one thing if two kids down the street release a new browser that doesn't go anywhere, it's quite another when a monolith company that's seen as one of the best in the biz does the same.

Yes, it is very much still a beta, as I menionted. But, it's a rather polished one so far. I'll post back as I run into better or worse experiences.
