Google Chrome now Ready for Business with Version 15? No!

With version 15 Google seems to have published the very first version of Google Chrome for Business that seems to work in an Enterprise environment with Roaming Profiles and redirected AppData folders. Yes - You have read correctly - they are at version 15 and this is the first version that may work. They claimed in december 2010 with Version 11 that Chrome is Ready for Business. The only thing that was ready - was a very limiting MSI wrapper that is not a full-fledged MSI setup. These version 11 was not ready for Business and the only important functionality was the installation to %ProgramFiles% folder, but this does not make Chrome ready for Business. It's still only a suxxx MSI wrapper around the normal installer and as one example - it does not allow you to customize the icon folders.
