Hi,

I installed SharePoint with the Local Administrator account throughout, including Central Admin. But when I try to find the Central Admin site in the list of Web Applications for whom I can configure the Service Account, I don't even find it listed there. So please let me know how to change the username and password for the Central Admin site. Please let me know about this at the earliest.

Ah yes, I didn't test Windows Integrated - my machine isn't on the same domain as the SharePoint site I tested. However the dialog for NTLM credentials worked just fine when I tried to get a site that challenged me for them, and once authenticated to the site I was able to use SharePoint's drop-down menu items (unlike Opera).

Indeed, thanks for the initial write-up. Chrome 0.2.149 is indeed blazingly fast with WSS / SPS ... now only if it would support integrated Windows authentication (at least with a config setting like FF offers) to avoid having users have to send credentials. Mind you, I haven't checked the Chrome user forums or source code yet, but I'm sure it's doable.

I second all your shortcomings about the various ASP / WSS functionalities not being quite supported in Chrome, but boy is it blazingly fast. It goes to show how much of the user experience is dependant on the browser side of things, regardless of cache and other WSS / MOSS / IIS tweaking on our farms.

Echoing @Wiffle's comment -- how are you enabling NTLM for SharePoint access? There's nothing on any of the Google help resources...

"Because SharePoint's UI was designed to provide all it's functionality to unknown or unsupported browsers (e.g. Opera), you can still assemble and rearrange pages, but niceties like drag and drop don't work here yet."

I have a totally different experience. For me the "Site Actions" menu doesn't even open in Opera

Don't expect Chrome to support "edit in" it uses the 'ActiveXObject' command which like all the other items mentioned, as not working, require Active-x which is only available in IE.
