Helping enterprises move bit-by-by is the whole point
Hi AndrewG,
I'm an engineer on the Chrome Frame team.
One of the major features -- some say, the entire point -- of Chrome Frame is to help the organizations you're talking about migrate to a less legacy-dependent world without changing everything all at once. Chrome Frame only renders the pages that opt-in, meaning those legacy IE6-only systems keep working.
As the article calls out (waaaaay at the bottom), Chrome Frame also provides full administrator controls, group policy templates, and MSI's for controlled deployment. Don't want it on your network? Just push a template and no version will install, not even per-user. Want it everywhere, centrally managed, and updating on your timeframe? Push the policy and the MSI as you see fit.
GCF doesn't bypass policy settings, it enables them in ways that allow organizations to move bit-by-bit, removing the economic hurdles to adopting better browsers one app at a time, not as a single, risky leap.
