>During the meeting one person said that about 15% of our users are still working with older browsers and we don’t want to lose them if Dart-generated JavaScript won’t work in Internet Explorer 7 or 8. I immediately answered that this wouldn’t be an issue, because several years ago Google created a smart way to automatically download Chrome’s JavaScript VM if the application runs inside IE. The name of this smart solution is Google Frame.

Err, Google Frame is not a "solution" for Dart not running on older IE browsers and it doesn't just download "Chrome's Javascript VM". It's (was) a way to install a different web engine for IE altogether, based on Chrome.

Second, it's not "automatically downloading" (which might give the impression that it's transparent to the user) -- you have to install it.
