Subject: [PSA] Install/run two Google Chrome builds side by side

You can now install/run two Google Chrome builds side by side:

- Install one of Google Chrome stable/beta/dev releases as usual.
- Install Google Chrome canary build (Windows only for now) which will be
installed to different path, get updated separately, and run side by side
with existing stable/beta/dev installation.

In usual situation, the canary build will be same as dev build. Sometimes if
necessary, we may push additional update on canary build so its version is
higher than dev. This may happen in following possible scenarios:

- When a beta branch is cut and a dev build is released from the beta
branch, we may release a canary build from trunk so we have user coverage
for builds from trunk.
- When we need to release a risky dev build, we may push it to canary build
first for test.

*If you are doing development/test for chromium project or interesting in
getting involved, we recommend you install Google Chrome canary build and
use it on daily basis.* It helps you keep track of activities from both
trunk and release branches. You can get Google Chrome canary build from:

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs

You can click the above download link and start installation without exiting
your current running Chrome, regardless which channel it is on. Once done,
the installer will install Google Chrome canary build to a separate
directory with different default user profile, short cuts, and icons, i.e.
everything should be separate from existing Google Chrome installation.
