Not possible. I'm pretty sure Google Chrome will not install in Longhorn and all the other versions of Angry Birds are for mobile platforms.

Oh, and watch how many times you click the Submit button.

Why Google Chrome can't install in Longhorn?
Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 can install in Google Chrome.

Actually, there's a native version for Windows that doesn't require Chrome. So it MAY be possible. Not likely, but possible.

Because Longhorn is based on a Release Candidate of Server 2003, which would have been around Service Pack 1 in Windows XP's life. And before you ask, no, it is not possible to install a Windows XP or Server 2003 Service Pack on Longhorn.

Longhorn is so buggy and useless I suppose it doesn't matter.

Chrome has been made to install on Windows 2000 by using a few tricks (among using the zipped installer Google provides) I don't see why it wouldn't run on something newer with the same methods.

Feature creep, immature development tools, making native C++ developers work with .NET, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs...

Why just using .NET in Longhorn?

Because that was one of the goals, to push .NET as an integral part of the OS instead of it just being a framework.

Well, although a Service Pack for either counterpart of Whistler would almost certainly install on an earlier 3xxx or early 4xxx build of Longhorn using maxtorix's workaround, the truth of the matter is that it would replace most of the actual Longhorn files with versions from Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, downgrading any such Windows installation by essentially converting it to the earlier product.
