Google Chrome OS screenshots leaked

July 9, 2009 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

Supposedly, a Google representative demonstrated a private beta build of the OS to an anonymous Acer parts supplier yesterday. The pictures were grabbed while the Google rep wasn’t  looking. Here’s the highlights:

  • The “elegant” install on the Acer Extensa 4620Z laptop took about 10 minutes and 1 restart
  • Reboots desktop-to-desktop in about 25 seconds
  • 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

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
