Download Chrome OS

Google has made announcements about selling Chrome Cr-48 notebook, its Chrome OS based notebook. Chrome OS is in its release candidate stage (just prior to retailing) and can be downloaded freely off the net. Remember that Chrome OS is ought to be free and not sold. This is Google's main challenge to Microsoft where they are offering a quality operating system for free while the later flogs the public for their piece of software.

How to install: Download the iso file and burn it into CD-R. Boot the computer from it and when Chrome OS is loaded, click Live Installer on the desktop. Follow the instructions.
