Testing Google Chrome OS
Following the instructions on this article and downloading the files from this site, I installed Google Chrome OS.
Starting
Login with a Google Account is a good concept, because you don't need one more extra password and you log in Google at the same time. On the other hand, I had personal and business accounts, so I need to be able to login at different websites with different credentials, I don't think this will be possible without restarting.
The Operating System
It's just a browser! There are 2 icons, a battery indicator and an option to turn in/off the Wi-Fi, and nothing more. There's a big icon that apparently is a menu, but nothing happens, so we're going to be patient and wait till next year to fully test the OS.
The OS concept
Google's OS is the first OS with a concept behind: accessing Internet very fast (7 seconds). As a graphic designer, I can't give up all the desktop software, but I think it's a good idea for some people. Way too minimal maybe.
At this stage, I've seen a more appealing Linux version for netbooks, but it's nice to have more Open Source options.
