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.

      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.

    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! )

    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

    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 :)
