Preview of Google’s New Operating System
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
Google announced their intent to build their own operating system called Chrome OS in July this year. Last week, the project made its public debut with code released to open source. Honestly, I would not have really bothered to try it out myself, but someone in the community made it really easy. A prebuilt VMware disk image of the Chrome OS installation was made available through BitTorrent and other download sites. Since it was so easy, and the download was quick, I grabbed a copy of the disk image to give it a try.
