Certainly he wasn't going to stop and troubleshoot the problem when a 3 minute install would work as a temporary solution but it is funny.

Settle down everyone - Google products have just as many bugs. :)

Interesting where he&#x27;s saying that the Edge browser on their machines is locked down, which was causing the crash.<p>Maybe it&#x27;s quite a known issue anyway. &quot;Yeah, I know, I know...&quot;, he said in response to something.

It&#x27;s a good thing he wasn&#x27;t running Windows 10 S: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;5&#x2F;10&#x2F;15609706&#x2F;google-chrome-windows-10-s-app-restrictions" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;5&#x2F;10&#x2F;15609706&#x2F;google-chrome-wi...</a>

MS authentication still took longer than installing chrome, lol. Log in with no password, come to some weird state where you never know what to choose, log in again with password, wait for 2-factor, and bingo!

I thought it was funny how he typed in &quot;chromr&quot; into the Start Menu. I feel like I&#x27;ve done that a hundred times. One thing I like about Spotlight is how it corrects typos like that.

Evidence you should never rest on your laurels -- 90% market share to 9% -- and that on what was obviously the most important platform the world has ever seen, the internet.

The fun thing is that this was already a month old presentation by the time this was posted.

This is amazing... Chrome FTW.

He unchecked &quot;send diagnostics&quot; because he didn&#x27;t want to help google. What the fuck

Poor demo skills. You could easily switch to slides for a moment while you do what you have to do and whilst some in the audience might notice it would certainly be more professional to keep the emphasis on the main message which doesn&#x27;t appear to be about demoing Edge anyway. It would also make for a less embarrassing video to put on the web.
