Google Chrome OS – Dev Built
Chrome OS is amazingly fast. The boot time of this OS is not more than 3 seconds. Then the first screen you will see is labeled as ‘Chromium OS’ asking for your Google ID and Password. Just type your ID (it will take Gmail.com automatically) and then password, the signing up screen will appear.
Important Note – Chrome OS did not take more than 3 seconds to boot

Chrome OS is build on Open Source Chromium Platform which is used in Chrome Browser as well. Chrome OS is mainly for Internet Browsing, Transaction, Web Application etc and this all will happen on Chrome browser which is extremely fast in operations.

What Next
Since Chrome OS is going to be an Open Source OS and that’s why other distributor will also come into market after the very first release. They might resolve the issues like ‘no option to save data/information on local disk’ and add some other functionalities in Chrome OS. But the best part of Chrome OS is that, it is extremely fast and made for for web addicts.

After watching their promotional video…. It made me think.
Does the Os allow us to play songs and movies stored on our hdd.
Or access any file from out USB pen drive ???
Hi Debu,
In this dev preview, I didn’t find any way to access external data or local songs but may be in further development, Google will add option to do that. Since Chrome OS will be open source, other distributors will also join and release this OS with some additional feature.
I am sure if additional features like … accessing local hard drives, using an office program offline, playing songs videos offline, etc…
I am sure that GOS will become the most used free OS in the world… I think the time is coming soon….
I agree with you Debu.
Honestly I feel that it wont be possible for Chrome OS to replace Windows., many linux distribution which are more features that Chrome OS and built with multiple features still find it hard to beat Windows. BTW can Chrome OS execute .exe files or are they similiar to Linux?
Chrome OS is Linux.
Hi Ram,
I totally agree with you but Google is going to release this OS because they want to take the market where people only uses web application and online resources on their computer. Now a days, lot many things are happening on web only, most of the time we stat browser as the first application and don’t care about local system. For .exe files, there will be restrictions as it is based on Suse linux but again you can execute those files with ‘wine’ or other application as we do on linux.
As you said, Google is likely to release this OS next year with limited yet good features. Who knows, it may challenge the giant microsoft in the near future. Because It’s Google! ;)
