Internet Explorer is the bane of every web developer's existence. Google being the one of the largest web content producers finally got fed up and has developed a work around for everything that is wrong with IE. They have developed a browser plug-in that completely guts IE and replaces its rendering engine with Google Chrome. The Google Chrome Frame looks like a great way to reach all the cooperate users and grandmas that cannot or will not upgrade to a new browser.

The only thing that is needed to set up this hack is a single meta tage in the head of your page. There is already a rack adapter that will do all the setup for you.

This is still a hack, and requiring a plugin is not the ideal user interface. It is like the inverse of your favorite zombie movie. In this case the infectious creature grabs the helpless victim and inserts the brain it was missing. I agree with @obie who tweeted: "What if we all just start requiring the Google Frame Chrome plugin for IE in all our apps? We're talking about it [evil laugh]" I think I'll at least give it a shot and see if I can avoid the time sink that is IE.
