Chrome Operating System

I finally got a good DL this morning and burnt it to a DVD. I don't have time to install it this morning. I also found if you don't have a spare hard drive you can install it on a blank USB 1 gig or more. If you can't afford 5 bucks I'll mail one to ya...lol. Google how to install Google OS on a usd drive...Mike

I have a little collection of Flash Drives. I would like to place this on its own HD though and try it out.

Looking forward to seeing what you think of this.

Bill I finally got it installed....yepeeeee! Get this I had a old WD36 GIG 10,000 rpm HD in the closet...lol.One of the things I noticed is I am having a hard time finding drivers. One thing I did find out is this OS doesn't support a triple monitor system. It does support wireless hardware...ect..ect. I am using it now and it is faster on the surfing part and boot up. Ickie has more training and experience on this OS than I do...this is all new to me...MIke
 
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to get a little HD and check it out. Sounds pretty cool.


So, I guess drivers are for Linux then. Just have to go to them to find all the drivers.


Who in the heck has drivers for a tri-screen???? lol...
 
I take it it also means no drivers for joysticks for flying sims. No gaming with Chrome?

What would kill M$ is a new OS that all of our present gaming would work on and also have better security.
 
Well understanding this OS is the fun part. It uploaded and updated the drivers once ya figured out how to do it. According to Goggle and the blogs it is more set up for researching and surfing and it is faster on the searching and speed of downloading web pages. It does have most of the programs you need for documenting, printing, ect...ect.I also noticed it boots up and shuts down really fast. I feel if Goggle sticks to their plan they might give MS a run for their money. I guess it is still so new to get a full understanding on what Goggle is trying to do. It's just another challenge to look forward too...Mike
