google chrome os netbook leaked
We do not know how far this is true, news is spreading about the leaked images from Google’s Chrome OS, that’s being developed. Here is some info.
AUTHOR AGREED THAT THEY WERE FAKE PICTURES
The OS installation was performed on a Acer Extensa 4620Z laptop to show it can install quickly on laptops from late 2007 to early 2008. The install from Vista to Google Chrome OS Dev Beta was only 10 minutes and was very elegant. Only one restart required.
A wizard asks you for basic info on the first boot up. Google was still in progress of developing the wizard so we just skipped most of this. Google at the moment installed only the Google Talk application. They did this because the Rep said “At the current time, Google has not completed compatibility tests with some laptops and netbooks.â€.
This beta was extremely stripped down. However, it was amazingly fast. They did one reboot and it rebooted from Desktop to Desktop in about 25ish seconds.
There is a button on the Chrome Bar (At least that is what the Rep called it.) that is basically the blue center of the chrome logo. This button pulls up a Start Menu clone essentially. The Reboot, Programs, and Main Directory is located here.

Until now, there was no  option for you to let a website load popups, always. All popups were blocked, and you will open those windows manually, from the bottom of the page. With the new Dev Update this week, Google Chrome is adding a “allow pop ups options” to it. You will see this feature very soon on Beta and Stable versions.
Now, here is a visual guide to it, to help you understand this better. Â Here is how it looked like before the update.
