I have now starred it, thanks!

Weird, I has same thing as that other Guy. It says "Stable" when I have the Dev Version.
But I use Windows 7.

@pumpman and MadDogTen, for the About box showing "stable" even for Dev channel, see if you can find any helpful info at: http://crbug.com/31759

Same thing happened to me, on XP Pro.

I ran the Channel Changer program and it switched to Dev. I did not have to reinstall, download anything more, or do anything else.

Weird.

@pumpman, MadDogTen, and pjfla, do any of you have any of the following registry keys and especially are they empty?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Update\Clients\{8A69D345-D564-463c-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Update\ClientState\{8A69D345-D564-463c-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Update\ClientStateMedium\{8A69D345-D564-463c-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}

I have all of those keys. The first is empty. The second has name: ap value 2.0-dev. The third has name usagestats: value 0x00000000

I also have some other keys under Clients, Client State and Client State Medium. Some include, among other stuff, names pv value 1.2.183.13 - sounds like some really old version of Chrome or maybe something is in there from other variants of Chrome that in the past (not now) I have used.

(All this on XP Pro SP2)

first one empty.
Second one has stuff
third one has stuff

Not sure what all the concern is about ...

Surely if it says 4.0.288.1 you're on the Dev channel ...

I now have this. Problem is there is no jumplist Its shows the normal Google Chrome,Unpin/Pin and Close Window now
