The Chrome OS keynote is currently underway but Google already posted a couple of videos of the Linux-distro on YouTube. From the looks of it Chrome OS looks exactly like the Chrome web browser. You access different parts of the “OS” through tabs at the top of the screen. There will only web-apps and no native apps which in my opnion sucks quite a bit. Google is said to be working on making web-apps access the GPU for faster performances. Google also only want’s to support SSD drives (WTF?) and certain Wifi cards. So far it doesn’t really impress me at all.
