It's so simple that it really is revolutionary! Just a bunch of web app launchers for frequently used/favorite web apps & a lightning fast browser for all the rest.
IMAGINE: - instant boot & fast runtime, - super long battery life, - always on operation (like a mobile phone), - no data backups & restores, - low/no software installation & maintenance, - no virus, spyware, etc. scanning, - automatic OS updates (all devices "globally" are always running the latest version), - flash-drive installation, for portable work environments, - ability to run on any device (smartphones, netbooks, notebooks, desktops, eReaders, game consoles, photo frames, carputers, …), - ability to run on any CPU architecture (x86, ARM, MIPS, …), - ...
FOR DEVELOPERS: - web apps that behave & perform like desktop apps (offline use, 3D graphic acceleration, etc.), through the use of HTML5/Gears, Native Client, WebGL/O3D, BONDI, etc. - web app improvements or bug fixes that can be propagated to millions/billions of users instantaneously. - web apps that can be offered for free/sale/subscription, to any user located anywhere in the world.
This is REALLY exciting!

I'm, unfortunately, going to have to say that I am not going to buy that these are real screenshots of Chrome OS. Having spoken with a few people at Google not very long ago, I was under the impression that they literally had not even started working on Chrome OS yet and would not have anything to show for a while.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if this is real, but otherwise I'm going to ignore this.
magnoliasouth

I'll agree that this is probably a fake, as it's very early in the process, but I'll disagree that Google hasn't even begun working on an OS yet. They wouldn't officially announce one if they haven't even tried to do it. In other words, it has to be created to even see if it's workable or not. Sure, Google employees would deny that but it's fairly obvious - from a business standpoint - that they do have one in the making.

It seems unlikely that the OS that has just really started to be talked about, is already in a BETA phase; and without us seeing anything from an ALPHA release?
I'm not close enough to Google to say either way with any real degree of certainty, but this doesn't really ring true.
That said, I would love it to be out very soon; I, like most, am very excited to be an early adopter. I'm already all about the webapps, so this should be an easy adoption for me.

No way Google would do this . . . it's hard as hell to use a dock like that (a similar dock comes installed on some Dell PCs) with Google's chrome browser. When you try to switch tabs the dock keeps getting in the way.

Think outside the box man. Don't sound like it's impossible to build an OS without windows, or that it's a radical idea when, in the first place, people never thought of windows before they existed.

Looks like actual Google Design. it also makes sense because the bar at the top and tray bar at the bottom can be seen even if the browser is at full view as if it was intended all along. That makes it plausible. the bleed, in this case the empty desktop background/void is also accurate based on Google Chrome design because the desktop (in their view) is only mean to be used by "Chrome Modules" A.K.A SSB Windows.
So if it is a Fake mockup my regards to the guy. it is very factual to the Chrome Browser design and Google design.

Hmm... First question is: where do my files go? I see Web (Chrome), Gmail, RSS (Reader), Maps, News Calendar, YouTube. Not even Google Docs in the main App Launcher?
I think that Google needs to sort out the following before they can launch this thing:
* Full OTA syncing (like Android) for offline use. This means for ALL applications that come bundled (Gmail, Calendar, READER, etc.) and the ability for third-party apps to do the same.
* Some sort of GDrive solution. This has been rumored for a long time, and I really don't understand why Google hasn't done it yet. Storage is cheap... There are millions of people out there waiting to store their stuff in the cloud, easily, portably, and seamlessly in a way that integrates with other Google products (eg. "attach from GDrive" in Gmail). They'll happily look at ads if it means they can have limitless storage online. Heck, they'll probably even let you analyze their data so you can target ads to them based on their mp3 and movie collection.
* Some sort of media solution, and don't tell me its YouTube. I want to watch DIVX files or MOV or MP4s or ISOs or whatever the heck I want... DVD discs too, if I have the drive. I think the simplest solution to this is a local installation of VLC Media Player bundled with the OS. The VLC team have done an amazing job over the years, and deserve to be integrated into a project like this.
* I need a way to be able to create mp3 playlists that I can access anywhere by logging in... A web based mp3 player shouldn't be too hard, and could be totally integrated with the GDrive. (And I actually think that Google could out-design iTunes if they put their mind to it).
If they can do the above and integrate the platform with Android... Then I think we've seen the future of the Operating System here.
As far as the design... I like its google-y sparseness. But if they're smart, they'll make the interface easy to customize so I can make it look like whatever I want (Just imagine the HUGE number of themes that would appear).
My two cents!

i think google with no doubt is excel in the web and its applications but when they get into the users desktops they will change every thing to web centric which is drawback for those who don't have internet connection all the time. I believe that Google should focus on their web applications and keep the OS field for the other parties!
in addition Google wanna monopolize the web and keep us stuck with their applications (they have great applications I know) which will decrease the competency between Google and other companies (exactly like Microsoft and their office suite).

Google is getting out of it's area of strength by getting into operating systems. This is a waste of resources, or at best, a Webkit/Android test lab. It will be to desktops what SeaMonkey is to Web browsers -- interesting, but only holding the interest of <1% of the market.

When was the last time a company with this much money tried to do an OS? It's been the same lineup for over a decade now. Microsoft, Apple and hiding in the corner, Linux.
There is probably good reasons why you would not want to try and create a new OS for the desktop market but Google are being extremely smart about it. They are going after a tiny market first, the Netbooks. They are incredibly popular right now and we seem to be heading for a future where an ultra light computer is the computer of choice to take on the move.
So Google have a great way to get their foot in the door here. Go after a small market where Microsoft is not at its best. If they can make a success of that, crossing over to the desktop will be easier are more of the mainstream will be aware Google is an option. This is most certainly a very long term play for them. I can't see this going anywhere for the next 2-3 years but it is worthwhile as its the ultimate next step for Google. Control the web and then your desktop.

If Chrome OS has a UI that is anything less than visually stunning, it will fail. This looks awful and has to be fake.
I'd imagine for a long time the work being done will be under the hood with lots of brainstorming on how to present that. So screenshots right now, even if they were real, I can't believe would show anything of the final look of the OS.
Since the focus of this OS is for the web and small screens. I'm thinking Google will be trying to look at forgetting all the conventions the "desktop" has setup over the years. The iPhone seems to have the right idea but those icons have to be very low res. Chrome OS could allow a bit more detail for an icons size and maybe present it better. In 3D? Animated? can't wait to find out just where Google goes with this.

Yeah, it's fine-looking, but I have two problems with it, which I say probably invalidate it. 1. It says "Developers beta". Okay, let's say they keep the lower case "beta" of other products, but "Developers"? It seems like it would be "Developer beta" or "Developer's beta", but the former seems more likely. After typing that first point, I suppose it does seem a bit nitpicky, but on to the next point. 2. How are you supposed to exit out of Chrome? Let's say you have three tabs open, and you want to close it; can you?
This could be authentic, but I don't know if that's very likely. Hopefully if it is real, that's an indication that it will be out soon!

Compatible with hardware? It's meant to be a MID/Netbook OS for which it's specially adapted to run a limited set of devices for like Android not a OS for normal desktop use for commodity hardware. This problem don't exist, they will just write every closed source driver needed for a specific device and ship. Most devices will probably not even run x86 processors but ARM. Software is meant to be normal webapps and webapps specially catered to Chrome OS.

I love Google and all of its products. And now with an OS (free!!) looking different and better than all known uptodate..., this is a wonderfull news! There's only one thing I want to ask to developers, none of Windows versions let us see seconds in the traybar clock: 15:20:05 and we always have to install a third party app to have it displayed. Is it so hard to do? or it's so insignificant that nobody takes into consideration? I consider it's the full format of time so maybe it's important, at least for me. My best regards and congrats.

To me, from the screenshots it looks like the whole OS will be basically Chrome Web Browser. That is a good thing.

Just thought you should know guys, it's all FAKE. YES! FAKE... Be patient. The damn thing will be release one of these days.

Blatantly fake. We all no Google are simple but not to that extent! Chrome internet explorer (I'm using it right now, is a hit! Google simply do not have the experience to pull it off and if they did it would be less simple.

What is the advantage of using this over let say a light-weight Linux distro or other 'WebOS' systems?
(To be fully BeOS-compatible)
Then....
:,-(
IMAGINE:
- instant boot & fast runtime,
- super long battery life,
- always on operation (like a mobile phone),
- no data backups & restores,
- low/no software installation & maintenance,
- no virus, spyware, etc. scanning,
- automatic OS updates (all devices "globally" are always running the latest version),
- flash-drive installation, for portable work environments,
- ability to run on any device (smartphones, netbooks, notebooks, desktops, eReaders, game consoles, photo frames, carputers, …),
- ability to run on any CPU architecture (x86, ARM, MIPS, …),
- ...
FOR DEVELOPERS:
- web apps that behave & perform like desktop apps (offline use, 3D graphic acceleration, etc.), through the use of HTML5/Gears, Native Client, WebGL/O3D, BONDI, etc.
- web app improvements or bug fixes that can be propagated to millions/billions of users instantaneously.
- web apps that can be offered for free/sale/subscription, to any user located anywhere in the world.
This is REALLY exciting!

Wouldn't like the semi-minimized browser on a 10 incher, as I can't see a maximize button.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if this is real, but otherwise I'm going to ignore this.

I'm not close enough to Google to say either way with any real degree of certainty, but this doesn't really ring true.
That said, I would love it to be out very soon; I, like most, am very excited to be an early adopter. I'm already all about the webapps, so this should be an easy adoption for me.

Mike - the hdd review guide.
reproducing and inverting a mac os desktop.
By simply providing integrated shortcuts web apps.
Trust me it's 100% fake.
OR, or the google designers are severely lacking innovation?
And, this is an utter fake. IS THAT A BATTERY MONITOR? On a "workstation" PC? Really?
will soon find out
*Gasp* More simplistic than Apple?! SCARY!
I'm definitely gonna use it.
The graphic interface is from XFCE ... I hope Google will be this own ... XFCE is great but that's seems a "normal" Linux right now.

People are so gullible !
Unless you are being sarcastic. then just carry on.
So if it is a Fake mockup my regards to the guy. it is very factual to the Chrome Browser design and Google design.
Is there a battery status on the bottom side?? how? does it have dual monitor support already?
I think that Google needs to sort out the following before they can launch this thing:
* Full OTA syncing (like Android) for offline use. This means for ALL applications that come bundled (Gmail, Calendar, READER, etc.) and the ability for third-party apps to do the same.
* Some sort of GDrive solution. This has been rumored for a long time, and I really don't understand why Google hasn't done it yet. Storage is cheap... There are millions of people out there waiting to store their stuff in the cloud, easily, portably, and seamlessly in a way that integrates with other Google products (eg. "attach from GDrive" in Gmail). They'll happily look at ads if it means they can have limitless storage online. Heck, they'll probably even let you analyze their data so you can target ads to them based on their mp3 and movie collection.
* Some sort of media solution, and don't tell me its YouTube. I want to watch DIVX files or MOV or MP4s or ISOs or whatever the heck I want... DVD discs too, if I have the drive. I think the simplest solution to this is a local installation of VLC Media Player bundled with the OS. The VLC team have done an amazing job over the years, and deserve to be integrated into a project like this.
* I need a way to be able to create mp3 playlists that I can access anywhere by logging in... A web based mp3 player shouldn't be too hard, and could be totally integrated with the GDrive. (And I actually think that Google could out-design iTunes if they put their mind to it).
If they can do the above and integrate the platform with Android... Then I think we've seen the future of the Operating System here.
As far as the design... I like its google-y sparseness. But if they're smart, they'll make the interface easy to customize so I can make it look like whatever I want (Just imagine the HUGE number of themes that would appear).
My two cents!
I just don't get it -- but I'm probably not the intended audience. :)
in addition Google wanna monopolize the web and keep us stuck with their applications (they have great applications I know) which will decrease the competency between Google and other companies (exactly like Microsoft and their office suite).
There is probably good reasons why you would not want to try and create a new OS for the desktop market but Google are being extremely smart about it. They are going after a tiny market first, the Netbooks. They are incredibly popular right now and we seem to be heading for a future where an ultra light computer is the computer of choice to take on the move.
So Google have a great way to get their foot in the door here. Go after a small market where Microsoft is not at its best. If they can make a success of that, crossing over to the desktop will be easier are more of the mainstream will be aware Google is an option. This is most certainly a very long term play for them. I can't see this going anywhere for the next 2-3 years but it is worthwhile as its the ultimate next step for Google. Control the web and then your desktop.
I'd imagine for a long time the work being done will be under the hood with lots of brainstorming on how to present that. So screenshots right now, even if they were real, I can't believe would show anything of the final look of the OS.
Since the focus of this OS is for the web and small screens. I'm thinking Google will be trying to look at forgetting all the conventions the "desktop" has setup over the years. The iPhone seems to have the right idea but those icons have to be very low res. Chrome OS could allow a bit more detail for an icons size and maybe present it better. In 3D? Animated? can't wait to find out just where Google goes with this.
Although i like simple, but it's not means that nothing in the screen
1. It says "Developers beta". Okay, let's say they keep the lower case "beta" of other products, but "Developers"? It seems like it would be "Developer beta" or "Developer's beta", but the former seems more likely.
After typing that first point, I suppose it does seem a bit nitpicky, but on to the next point.
2. How are you supposed to exit out of Chrome? Let's say you have three tabs open, and you want to close it; can you?
This could be authentic, but I don't know if that's very likely. Hopefully if it is real, that's an indication that it will be out soon!

I was exited now just borred : nothing new and uglier than windows... I am sorry but that is not enought.
And a "Developers beta"? Where was the alpha?
If this is Google Chrome OS, its a MAJOR let down and a huge waste of their hype machines efforts. I'd rather just recreate this in Xubuntu in a few minutes.
are they still sticking with it to be open source being google I'm sure they will.
I'll still download it when its released and have a try.
I have a lot of screen shot for Google Chrome O.S.
for Screen shot anda video :

Good Bye.. Thanks
theres no maximize button...thats weird and for the Google chrome instead of Google Chrome, that sounds fake.
Anywho, what about Google Wave??
But good enuf if it boots in 10 sec and is ready to surf.
It will need to be very compatible with existing hardware, and most importantly, software to get a user base fast.
So far Google have made winners out of almost everything they have done so fingers crossed...
:-)
It will basically be Maemo or Moblin but built around Chrome and Google services instead of Gecko/Firefox and linux apps. So it still has a long way to go if that's all it is right now.

Google my love
Though it does look the part (maybe) I really really hope this isn't it. I couldn't live without offline apps.
That said, I couldn't live without the internet either....
But Google Chrome is the best browser for me. An operating system built around it is genius.
hey, jeff ruskin, curse the google!
a technical festival in my collage can i present googleos ?
plz give me a matirial of os my email add is darshanchauhan64@gmail.com
That is a good thing.
