Chrome OS outstanding

Several users have found on the Web that might be called the beginnings of the future OS chrome. In July, Google had actually announced an operating system specifically designed for netbooks and based on Linux. This week an unstable version of Google Chrome was accidentally distributed on the Internet before being removed from the download directory. This grinding (Unstable Google Chrome 4.0.222.6-r28902_i386.deb) dedicated to Linux, have small cosmetic changes and the first mention "Chrome OS.

Thus a button in the upper left of the first tab to switch to full screen. Note also a clock placed in the top right of the main browser window. Finally Google has also added some configuration options of the touchpad and network in a section called Chrome OS. These few limited information preclude however raise several issues on both sides of the canvas. For some, this first build unofficial and unstable mean neither more nor less than the system is embedded directly within the browser.
