Chrome OS Emulator I came into this assignment with much misguided enthusiasm. I downloaded Chrome OS to try out. I used Vanilla to install it from the thumb drive and unlock the little-talked-about Chrome OS. The Initial Boot
When booting up Chrome OS for the initial run it took over 3 minutes, I will attribute this to the fact that it was loading from a thumb drive. On system resume it was just as fast and maybe a little faster than Windows 7 OS on resume from a sleeping state. So in the spirit of testing to the fullest I loaded Chrome OS Lunix platform on a spare laptop that I had laying around. The boot was much faster once I loaded it up. The boot time was reduced to 18-24 seconds. Testing Phase
Chrome OS was new to me, so at first I did what any grown man does with a new toy, I tried to put it through its paces and tried to… well honestly, break it.
I first started with the USB loaded version of Chrome OS. Upon startup for the first time you get the initial you might be an idiot, or in old computer language of Basic “I D 10 T.” The initial screen points (with arrows drawn) out the window control buttons (as if you might be unfamiliar with these from Windows OS), installed apps (just in case you forgot what Chrome applications you installed previously) and last but not least your basic startup features and settings that you can adjust. Of course, Google added the all too popular “Learn More” button.
Once I was over the insult to my intelligence or possible lack thereof I moved on to the fun part, it took me a whole 10 minutes before I was able to lock up the OS. I also was having problems with getting any website to load on this version.
On the Lunix Chrome OS it was much more stable and much faster. I was not able to lock it up within the first hour so I began to explore rather than just trying to overtask the OS.
