TOKYO — Sony Corp. is selling its Vaio-brand computers installed with Google Inc.'s new Web browser Chrome for users in the U.S. and Europe.
Sony said Wednesday that Chrome has been pre-installed on the company's Vaio computers as the default browser in the U.S. and Europe since May. The Sony devices continue to provide Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer — the world's most widely used Web browser — allowing users to have a choice between the two.
Sony is the first PC maker to sell computers with Chrome pre-installed. The company doesn't disclose breakdown of sales figures, but said that it expects to sell 6.2 million PCs globally in the fiscal year through March 2010.
