Doesn't matter if the machine or the OS are 64 or 32 bit a 32bit program will just work happily. So, you only need to have 1 download button. <br><br>People get very anxious and confused if they are given a choice and when it's a techie sounding thing that makes no sense to them they find it's a complete nightmare. Easier to go back to Windows for it's freedom FROM choice. <br><br>Of course in Gnu&Linux land you might expect people to have some basic knowledge but in gateway distros (such as Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Chrome etc) they might well be just dumb Windows Users egged on into hostile territory and still belienving all sorts of FUD and just plain scared out of their wits and just grabbing at the nearest thing. <br><br>So, just 32bit kept things easier for
them but nowadays maybe a 64bit build might not hurt quite so much<br>Regards from <br>Tom :) <br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Jonathan Aquilina <eagles051387@gmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Tom Davies <tomdavies04@yahoo.co.uk> <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> Michael Bauer <fios@akerbeltz.org>; "ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com" <ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, 9 April 2013, 16:22<br> <b><span

Very "Zen" of them! The OS supposedly runs inside the web-browser so the 2 things; the OS and the web-browser are 1. <br>
<br>So, people got fed up of asking or dealing with the question "Do you mean the web-browser or the OS?" and just started called the web-browser "Chromium" instead, to avoid confusion. Unfortunately Google still call it Chrome. So the sensible Ubuntu people take Chrome (the web-browser) and rename it Chromium to fit in with the rest of the entire world outside of Google's insanity. <br>
<br>Does that clarify it or make it "clear as mud"?<br>Regards from <br>Tom :) <br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid rgb(16,16,255);margin-left:5px;margin-top:5px;padding-left:5px;">

What I don't get is that there is no proper Windows installer, you
have to grab a nightly, unzip, move to the programs folder, manually
do a shortcut and hope it's not buggy...<br>
<br>
I would welcome any development that gets us a sane path to
localized Chromium versions that are easy for folk to install and
update but I'm afraid I'm only a translator so I can't offer help
coding.<br>
