Demonstration of Google Chrome OS in San Francisco

Google just showed off Chrome OS at its presentation in San Francisco.

To set up a brand new machine with Chrome OS you will need only 4 steps and less than a minute. All settings and themes are pulled out of the cloud, and if you change something \ add it on other computers, synchronization takes less than a second. The test equipment on which Chrome OS was shown came out of sleep mode almost instantly. The OS supports multiple accounts, as well as a guest account, in Incognito Mode, all default data is encrypted.

You can work and offline, synchronization occurs as soon as the network appears.

Also demonstrated are the Chrome Web Store , Google Cloud Print (allows you to print on your home printer from anywhere). Devices with Chrome OS will use Verizon's 3G plans - the prices are true, in my opinion, they bite. 100 MB of data every month for two years, if this is not enough, you can take an unlimited amount per day for $ 9.99, or buy several gigabytes separately.
Here is a price tag (thanks to YasonBy ).

There are also disadvantages - while there is no USB support, some bugs, etc. Chrome OS will be shipped on Intel-based machines from Acer and Samsung in mid-2011.
