http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/10/chrome-dev-channel-windows-8_620x340.jpgLaunch Chrome in Windows 8 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/07/google-gives-a-sneak-peek-at-chrome-for-windows-8-metro-ui/) and you won't see much that's different compared to other desktop releases, even in the Metro-like mode. That may change soon. Google's has posted a Dev Channel version of its browser whose Windows 8 interface mimicsChrome OS (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/22/chrome-os-stable-channel-29/), right down to the app tray and multi-window system. Whether or not many users will see this view isn't certain, however. Features in Chrome developer builds aren't guaranteed to reach finished software; this may remain an experiment. If the next stable version of the browser feels like a Chromebook (http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/07/samsung-chromebook-review-2012/) sales pitch, though, it won't be a surprise.
