However, no details about the vulnerabilities will be published until the majority of users have switched over. The Chrome version for Windows, Mac and Linux will be rolled out to the systems via the automatic update feature in the next few days. One can also update the browser manually (via the menu and the About Google Chrome command). The latest build of the Chrome browser can also be downloaded here.
The group policy bug
Addendum: I received reports from German users, that the new Google Chrome build ignores group policy settings for Windows used in enterprise environments. There is a bug tracker entry confirming this issue.
