This a video of me playing around with the first build of Chromium OS, the open source operating system presented a few days ago by Google. Google says it will start up in just 7 seconds, and once you have logged in, get you to your desktop in just 4 seconds more. Obviously, this will be extremely interesting for the netbook market, as once you have installed the OS (only 285 MB), all your computing will be on the Net, so potentially, all a computer running this OS would need would be a motherboard, some RAM, a tiny processor, and 300 mb of flash memory. If you want to try it out, here thepiratebay.org/torrent/5170843/chromeos-image-999.999.32309.211410-a1.vmdk.bz2
is the .vdmk file Virtual Box will use, and here

is a tutorial on how to do it! Please rate high & subscribe if you like!
P.S: Sorry about the rubbish video quality, I am using the only video screencapturing software I know which is Freez Screen Video Capture. If anyone can message/comment with a better alternative for Windows (Free, if possible), I would be very grateful! =)
PPS: CONSTRUCTIVE critisism please, stupid comments will be deleted...
