Chrome OS Zero Released

Posted on 11. Jan, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in News

chromezero A new build of Chrome OS by Hexxeh wa s released today under the moniker Chrome OS Zero. After several false starts with expectations of a release last week (due to an MBR problem), we finally see a new and updated version of Chrome OS that promises to be more polished and even easier to use than past iterations. This release is based off of a newer Chromium OS code version from Google and offers some new features, which among other things includes new artwork.

There is also:

Additional Broadcom wireless support
Limited multi-language capabilities
Extension support
Reduced file size
Speed improvements

The most important new capability is probably extension support. Plus the new designs on Hexxeh’s website look pretty cool.

You can load this from USB so you can boot your PC from a USB drive, and then you can hit the power button on your machine to restart whenever you want to return to your normal OS. There are instructions on how do this right here.

We’ll give it a try and write up a review in a bit.

Working with the existing phenomena makes them popular. Speed increases is one of the new features of chrome os zero. People would like it. The update system too should be able to be installed separately as a feature.
