Paul, can you maybe lean on people at Google to create & test a few versions of a Chrome Frame download page that is highly convincing to end users? The Chrome Frame page is kinda sorta developer-centric. There needs to be one well-linked-to page that is only, and convincingly, targeted to everyday bumpkins using IE.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only people who should be installing Chrome Frame are IT departments in control of hundreds or thousands of desktops that are forced to maintain IE6 because of legacy/vertical applications.
"End users" should, at least for computers they own, be convinced to install a complete browser like everyone else.
Since sites opt in to Chrome Frame using the same X-UA-Compatible mechanism Microsoft introduced for IE7/8 emulation, it shouldn’t be breaking anything — even (especially!) “legacy/vertical applications.”
Added: Heck, why not one targeted toward IT admins, too :)
