Google said August 31 that
Sony is bundling the Chrome Web browser on its Sony laptop computers, the search engine company's first such bundling deal to help the now one year-old browser reach more users. Sony did not respond to requests for comment but a Google spokesperson confirmed to eWEEK that Sony is bundling Chrome. The spokesperson declined to provide financial details but claimed:
"Users' response to Google Chrome has been outstanding, and we're continuing to explore ways to make Chrome accessible to even more people."

A friend of mine, who bought Sony Vaio recently, said, that the first thing the laptop did was installing security updates, and after that default browser was reset to IE8. He can't remember if it was asking for confirmation, because in Vista users are used to clicking Yes automatically.
