I visited Google on a developer preview of IE7 before Christmas and I got that message. Obviously, I didn't download the executable, but rather just added it myself.<br /> It’s been there a while now.

Why would Google have such a ugly popup?

Wasn’t there single link at the bottom of their home page saying "Make Google your default  homepage" enough?

I liked the clean Google interface… hopfully we don’t see more and more of this.

In other Google related news (hopefully better), have you seen the upcoming chat features in Gmail?

Only problem is that I, or the whole of the UK, seem to get them last.

I do hope this feature becomes available to use soon, because I’m not a fan of Google Talk – it may be based on OS software, but that doesn’t mean it has to be good.

Sunny Boy: My main Gmail account seems to be quite behind on features but my secondary account (which I got after) seems to get new features quite quickly. Might be worth creating/using other accounts to test drive new features.
