Today I managed to get a copy of Google Chrome OS. I am currently running it in a VirtualBox, and I have to say, it needs some work. It is a good thing in my opinion that is is scheduled to be released in 2010.


These are the current "programs" that come with Chrome OS, You have Gmail, Hotmail (Live Mail), or Yahoo! Mail for email, Google Calendar, Google Reader for RSS, Google Docs for Word Processing, Spreadsheets and Presentations, YouTube for videos, Picasa for Pictures, Hulu for TV Shows, Lala for Music, Pandora for Internet Radio, Flash Chess for games, and Facebook and Twitter for Social Networking.


Flash Chess is the only game that "comes with" Chrome OS (It's an online flash games with a permanent link)


Contacts, Calculator, To-do list and Calendar Panel appear as little popups over whatever webpage you are viewing.


This is the login screen, you can login using your existing google account (i couldn't find a place to create an account, but this could be due to the fact that VirtualBox is not displaying the OS correctly.)

I think that sharing is caring, so I am giving you Chrome OS to try out for yourself (please don't forget to leave comments here) You Must have a virtualization program to run this OS. (VirtualBox, vmware)

Here is Chrome OS 999.999.32309.211410-a1 Developers' Build
