Google Chrome OS Screenshots
Ok, so probably a fake, but after yesterday’s Google announcement of it’s new OS already we have a seen a few screenshots leak onto the web.
The story is told that a Google representative demonstrated a beta build of the OS to an anonymous Acer parts supplier yesterday, and Acer were on the released list as official Google partners today… Apparent highlights of the demonstration are:
- The “elegant” install on the Acer Extensa 4620Z laptop took about 10 minutes and 1 restart
- It was “amazingly fast” in its stripped-down beta form
- The blue orb on the auto-hiding “Chrome Bar” along the bottom of the UI is essentially the start menu
- Navigating the file system can be done in “exploration” (like Windows explorer) or “browser” (search based) modes
- The Chrome Bar can also host a search bar if configured
- Future Chrome OS netbooks will feature an iconified Chrome key on the keyboard similar to the Windows flag key
Who knows what time will bring…
