Take a first look on Chromium OS the open source project by Google. This is a developer copy so it wasn’t really a working copy, not on my machine for sure.
I just want to take a look at the UI and the idea around the OS.
If the program we use on a day to day basis open as fast and flexible as much, and cloud computing or so Chromium OS can replace or offer total solution… it’s not a bad idea.
This is an operating system in a web browser make real… you could start as fast as you switch on your DVD player or MP3 player. You could access your apps as fast and without installing. You don’t need gigabyte of space to watch movie or listen to music…
All you need is virtual disk space, high speed internet connection and stay connected 24/7. Unfortunately that would be also the downside of it.

Hi Netster! I don’t understand this post, either, but I’m not up on all that new gadget stuff. Just stopping by to say Hi!

Thank you for the Hi! hahahaha Muck!
Hi you back
.-= Netster´s last blog ..Google Chrome =-.
ahhhh that's why you need to follow jong's blog to learn more about technology hahahahaha
apa ni
hhahahahah
I like it … I think
It’s an interesting idea, but in the end, I really don’t know, if people will like it. I got Google wave and I don’t use it and don’t need it. It’s boring. So I wonder, if Google didn’t make another thing, that’s great and revolutionary, but people just won’t use. We shall see.

MKL, I got Google wave too… hahahaha got it yesterday, invited by a friend. Quite bored
I remember when Gmail was damn boring too but for some reason Google find its way to lure people into it and was now somewhat the most use webmail. If you know how to, you can make use of the mail space for storage too.
I think Chromium OS look promising just not at the final stage just yet… green and growing
.-= Netster´s last blog ..I want to see Chromium OS =-.

Ohh yeah what the heck I should do that! change my password!
you’re right! it’s just a barenaked browser.
I run it on Virtualbox and I think it’s not really running 100% and in fact after clicking few apps it got hanged!
I have downloaded VMware player let see if it will run properly. I hope I downloaded the right stuff hahahhaha
thanks for an Gmail invite, checked it out myself, not much impression, just a barenaked browser , battery, wifi applet, i wish to check whats under the hood, but that will definitely take time ) Google published build instructions for Chromium OS, so everyone can make their own build.
It is named “Chromium OS” and browser is “Chromium” with logo being colored blue,
while official OS and browser are named “Chrome” with colourful logo, only Google can release “Chrome” (Chrome OS is to be purchased with new netbooks/other at this point / as they announced), while Chromium is not covered by any proprietary trademarks.
resume: TOO THIN! )
and btw, i have changed my google password after testing that OS image,
its from an unknown source, so i cant exclude the possibility that it wasnt hijacked
YHAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
( I don’t really understand this post, so these will be my comments )

Someday you’ll see terminals running ChromeOS in internet cafe’s,
when wimax/3g will be spread everywhere ChromeOS will be good choice for PDA or thin things like netbooks. Its good for small , medium and even big business, an OS built on a web browser which access everything remotely (i.e. Google Docs instead of an Office suite). Chrome is for thin clients and cloud computing, but its abilities as traditional OS is very limited, you cant even use it without network.
And btw code is open and free to modify if you need a special build.
I like Win 98 and explorer 2
