Google Chrome OS. First impressions.

Tuesday, 1 December 2009 22:39 by alex

As you know Google has recently announced a new operating system - Google Chrome OS. So I went to google and downloaded it. After performing all steps from the installation manual i burned OS image to USB flash stick and rebooted computer. In 7 (!) seconds Chrome browser appeared. Can you imagine?! Just 7 seconds - that's awesome. So, in 7 seconds a picture appeared on the screen. But here is the point where good news end. It was just a browser. There were options to connect WiFi and to set up Proxy server, but I was not able to. They were not working. Of course, it was just an alpha version. But we can already see main concept. Chrome OS - is just a browser - and thats it.

I believe, that Chrome OS will definitely occupy it's own cell in the market.
