Google ChromeOS
Today I decided that I would take a look at the google chromeOS as I had a little time to spare and I thought I would give a little review of it.
Firstly the good points, when you first load up chrome it loads very quickly, you are presented with the login screen pretty much straight away and then you are given the option to login using your gmail account (A feature I think microsoft should have taken up with windows and it’s live ID service). I then login using this ID and the interface is extremely simple to use, it is very similar to the chrome browser and lightweight, just what is needed for notebook applications.
Some of the bad points are that you can never guarantee that you will have internet access therefore will not be able to access all of chromeOS’s features and also the fact that the OS is very minimal feature and asthetically. I would say that they need to give it some more work before releasing it fully.. I have seen that google have started releasing projects wave being one of these that are not anywhere near finished and this does not please me. I and many others would rather see a kick-ass finished project than somethng that looks rushed.
I would also like to take the opportunity to say sorry for not posting in a while and I am hopefully going to be posting soon regarding an ongoing project that I am starting to work on.
