Just have Chromium OS installed on one of my machines, thanks to this guide.  I use Sun Virtual Box as the virtual machines with Chromium OS  image from gdgt.

If you already use Chrome browser, you will be very much familiar with this OS. It looks exactly the same, except the existence of 3 small icons at the top right corner of the OS (on my 4th screen shot), representing the battery indicator, Wifi and other menu similar to what Chrome has.

But seriously, is this what Chromium OS all about? Chrome browser with all apps on the cloud and… boot in 7 seconds? Not too excite with the boot time as my systems up almost the time.  You may said that it still in beta, but beta should give an insight what the final product would be, am I right?

It may works at certain developed countries only where internet connection is everywhere, but not on developing countries where internet is still an expensive ‘commodity’ and with limited coverage. I have not much to say as there is very few things to mentioned with regard to Chromium OS.
