Chrome OS in the fog

Source: Internet
Author: User

Google released ChromeOS yesterday. some cool people previously compiled its source code and created a virtual machine to share it. . See where seeds are available. The file size is about mb. After decompression, the size is about MB. After the installation, you can use VMware or Virtual Box to open it. I opened it with VirtualBox and allocated 1 GB of memory.

Don't worry if you haven't downloaded it. A picture has a real image. Haha. You can see the following picture to learn more (Click an image to view the large image.).

1. the startup speed is slow, and the system is started in about 10 seconds. The User Name of this virtual machine is mark, and the password is blank.

 

2. Try Baidu. Good, there is no Garbled text, and Baidu has a cloud input method, you can directly use Pinyin to type.

 

3. Enter Youku, and Flash can be played normally.

 

4. QQ, of course, is indispensable. Based on Web QQ, you can log on and chat normally. However, I don't know what's going on. I cannot use the QQ cloud input method, so I cannot enter Chinese characters.

4.1. QQ also has a browser. Both are browsers, speechless...

 

5. Some people are wondering if I can install some software? No, it's a Web OS. How can I install software? Sure enough, Google's software selection won't work. And only software of linux version is used. However, the download is not successful. Therefore, this is a failure.

5.1 Download Software crash page

 

6. It is estimated that the user data should also be stored on the Internet by Google. Therefore, the local file system is relatively simple. Strictly speaking, it is basically useless.

 

7. Finally, I would like to introduce Google's own applications:

7.1 Gmail

7.2 Google Calendar

 

8. Similar to the Windows Task Manager.

 

9. system settings

10. ChromeOS is also based on Linux. Therefore, you can use Ctrl + Alt + T to enter the console. You can use some Linux commands. However, shutdown is still not completed. You can only force power off.

 

Summary

Chrome OS was simply used, although Google delayed product release because it took some time to modify the "flaw ". However, I think there is still a considerable gap between products available to users. I hope Google will not get a cup of cake any more. In addition, two years ago, Asus has launched an advanced version of the BIOS system that can also implement basic functions such as browsers and emails. But it does not seem to have gotten angry either. Many other products are being released recently. So are Google's ChromeOS really advantageous over these products?
