I will definitely check it out this weekend, as the build linked in the article didn't seem to support my wireless controller. Having to hunch over my desk to use my netbook, plugged in, has kept me from really using the OS too much. Awesome, Erk.

I built a 0-day version of Chrome OS for USB drives today. It seems to support a wider range of wireless network controllers.

I am also really curious how it will compare to Jolicloud, which allows both online and direct install apps and has a pretty slick looking interface. I'm also intrigued by an article I read on Venturebeat by a former Google employee postulating Google's real motivations behind developing the OS: http://bit.ly/6UCHcV I agree, but am planning to keep an eye on both Chrome OS and useful web apps that could replace many of the desktop apps I use effectively, since I do most of my work online.

My reaction is that Chrome OS is ahead of its time, and won't really be useful until internet access is everywhere. Even then, it will have severe limitations unless/until all apps move to the cloud. I think it will be suited for netbooks, but not much else. That of course could and probably will change at some point in the future, but I think we're a ways off from that. It really strikes me as something that turns a machine into a web browser appliance, at this point in time. I could see using it as a secondary OS, but I wouldn't sacrifice my other apps for it (again, at this point in time). I fired it up and used it briefly this weekend.

Let us know what you think. :D I would actually use Chrome OS in a dual-boot scenario if it were just a bit further along. It would be much better for my general internet use (which is the majority of my time on the laptop) than using sleepmode/standby all the time -- better for my computer as well. Well, give it a try!
