I tried copying installed-chrome.txt from my Mac OS X to Windows XP, but 
it caused weird windows formatting problems with Moz on XP.   I tried to 
restore the original installed-chrome.txt, but it didn't fix Moz, so I 
was forced to reinstall.

Besides, the bug below explicitly says that the roaming profiles are not 
in Windows XP because "registering any locale from browser.jst is 
wrong", whatever that means.
