With the Vista ‘Border Padding’ set to 1, Firefox’s border looks like this:
Google Chrome’s windows border looks like this:
Notice how Chrome’s window border doesn’t respect the set border size. Something for Google to fix. The problem is especially apparent when the Border Padding is set to zero — Chrome’s window border looks just odd then.

Google isn’t the only offender when it comes to not respecting border padding settings in Vista:

Command Prompt and Virtual PC both have border thicknesses of +2 pixels.
Incidentally, I noticed the Google Updater program also had a thicker-than-usual border (possibly +3 pixels, but I didn’t measure or try with different settings).
As soon as Google finishes fixing this, maybe they can work on including 256×256 icons in their programs

@Cuppa: Right. Microsoft and clean & consistent UI don’t go well together

it will be interesting to see if Chrome can get as much market share as Firefox; for now they seem to have leveled off…
