Haha, this post really says not “don’t install Chrome Frame”, but “install real Google Chrome browser”.. :)
If it’s so unsafe, then people will use other browser.

That is just such a typical MS response…
C’mon, they could have come up with something better!

So, what the Microsoft spokesperson said could be interpreted as meaning that Internet Explorer is secure, while Chrome is full of holes. Funny, considering that Chrome is an open source browser based off of the open source WebKit browser engine. Both WebKit and Chrome are very secure, and have small market shares, making them less appealing for malware developers. Internet Explorer, on the other hand, is used by 2 out of 3 people, and has been criticized for years over its poor security, especially concerning ActiveX. Chrome is used by lots of tech-savy people, while IE is the browser of choice for those who recently learned “how to computer.” Just contrasting the security of IE vs. Chrome in that way eliminates all credibility their side of the argument has.
