As The Chrome Source points out, Google has now made the Chrome browser downloadable as an MSI file, which will make wide and remote deployment much, much easier for system administrators.
In an effort to make the Chrome installation process easy (and to ensure users are downloading the latest version), the normal Chrome for Windows installation process downloads the installer package during the installation itself.
There is a way to download Chrome for offline installation, but until now, Google hasn't made it very easy for Windows System Administrators to do unattended installations, install Chrome from a network share or from a remote location. The MSI package will let administrators do that, which will make it significantly easier for large groups or organizations to migrate to using Chrome as their default browser.
Google has been ramping up its efforts to convert enterprise users to Google Apps. Last fall, the company also released its Chrome Frame extension as a way for Internet Explorer users to take advantage of the power of Chrome without having to install a new browser.
Being enterprise friendly with its installer, however, skips the subterfuge and makes it easy for workplaces to switch en masse easily.
