Yes, I think I have used the correct word, “SEXY” … you will know when you look at screenshots. You can’t ignore these screenshots from the dev version that I am using, and mind you, this is the best part of using google chrome dev version, I can show you the latest, with screenshots, even before they are ready, for the rest of the world, you are lucky !! ( If you want to see more posts like this, simply subscribe to RSS or via email. )
When Google chrome was introduced few months back, people didn’t quite like the new tab pages showing most visited websites. There was no option to edit thumbnails displayed there. Then they introduced thumbnails editing and removing … now, the new tab page has become sexy, you will no longer want to remove that.
You can
- Hide Thumbnails
- Show them as a list instead of thumbnails
- Hide Recent Activities ( tabs you closed recently, your last session )
- Hide Recommendations
- Drag and Drop thumnails and re order them the way you want !
Now, that’s more freedom, isn’t it ? Apart from making the new tab pages more user friendly and useful, the looks have improved a lot, and now looks really soft on eyes. I really love to see if this has happened on linux version too, but unfortunately, my linux laptop died recently, and I should take it to the service center, and once that’s back, I will have news for Linux people also.
So, now to the screenshots gallery ….. click on thumbnails to zoom in

We were busy porting android to netbooks, thinking Google will develop their mobile OS android, in to a normal operating system, working on netbooks, laptops and even desktops. Now, the news it out that its not the android OS, but the Google Chrome OS. For many, its only a name change. Everything else remains the same, Google is building an operating system, that’s the big news. But how big is this news ?
Microsoft, this is big news for you
Yes, not in the good way, but still this is a big news for you people. Microsoft found themselves lucky when there were reports of people returning Linux based netbooks, and windows XP doing better in netbook market. Busy working on windows 7, making it light enough for netbooks, here comes the shocking news, Google Chrome OS.
Linux may not be popular among non geeks, but Google sure is, and that’s what worries MS. ( if they are worried at all .. I mean, its not easy to break Microsoft’s market share, something that they earned over many years ). If google chrome OS is going to use Google Docs, Google Reader, Google Search, Google Talk ( With video chat ), and many others google products, people will not have tough time switching to the new OS. Because, they are familiar with all these things, and if Google integrates them in such a way that they work seamlessly online and offline, that’ll be a big thing and people will fall for it.
So, Google Chrome is something bigger than Linux and ubuntu to worry about sir.
Netbook prices will go down, and the demand, up
Simple economics, when the price is lower, demand will go up. Netbooks minus the cost for XP = more demand for them, replace XP with Google Chrome with Google Chrome OS, then you get a low cost idea for a Netbook. What if Google subsidizes netbooks with their operating system ? Hmm, that’s a point …
Acer is a company that does much better on the price factor than any other laptop/netbook making company. There are many companies looking for a chance to reduce the price, and get rid of XP from their netbooks. Intel’s moblin OS was such an effort. So, this is very much possible.
There are much more possible, with Google Chrome OS is out. What you think will be it’s future ? Share here …

I am passionate about Google Chrome, and that’s why I started this blog. I was very much passionate about Google Android, because I thought it will become an operating system for netbooks and laptops very soon. I used to imagine how it will be, when Google releases an operating system.
Now, the story of Google Chrome has a twist. It’s going to become an operating system. It’s not Android that will see being developed as an OS for netbooks and laptops, but that’s ok, we will still get an operating system from Google.
What is Google Chrome OS
I know that you have already read enough about google chrome operating system from various sources. Still, this post won’t be complete without mentioning what it is.
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.
That’s from the Official Google Blog.
Vow, it’s linux based, and I am linux fan too, okay, so I love linux, I love chrome, and I love the fact that google is building an operating system .. all this love with be expressed through chromestory.com in coming days. You will see news, and updates about the new OS, yes, chromestory.com is not just about the browser anymore …. it will be about the new operating system, news tips, and whole lot of information. And the forum ? It will be developed as Google OS Help Forum.
The Door of secrets is open … it’s time to explore more !!

Hi friends ! this is your buddy google chrome speaking. I wanted to tell you about this small trip that I am taking to Windows 7, a new operating system from Microsoft. I feel proud when I see my name listed on the all new taskbar of windows 7, along with media player and IE 8.
I reached here fine, and the journey was smooth and fast. I was expecting some issues landing here, since I am not so used to this enviornment. But, things went well, download, installation and setup, all worked fine. Infact, I am writing this note to you all from my place in this windows 7 island ! It’s so beautiful around here, really.
I had to change my looks a bit, you know.. you may not recognize me at first sight, if you come here for now… I don’t have that blueish look that I used to have when I was on Windows XP. I have changed my looks according to the theme here, you see I must look a native, as long as I am here right ? But if you guys prefer my blueish looks, you can definitely do that when themes are officially announced.
Even Though this is a 64 bit capable laptop, it’s using 32bit windows 7 on here. It s not making any difference, but I just wanted to note that, for the record. Anyway, this windows 7 thing is beta, right ?
Did anyone else try google chrome on windows 7 ? Did you find any error message ? Need help ? please drop me comments, and help questions are welcome on our new forum
