Google Chromium OS may look a bit weird at first, but it's also very intuitive. It's the perfect OS for low-spec computers like netbooks.Īfter logging in with your Gmail account, you're ready to start. That's what makes Google Chromium OS so fast and lightweight: the OS doesn't need to install anything on your computer, because you can access everything online. Google Chromium OS is meant to be used with online apps, and you will store all your files online. Almost everything is web-based, or if you prefer it, in "the Cloud". The web based nature of Google Chromium OS is its most outstanding feature. There have been very few successful attempts to modify Google Chromium OS for Macs but one such version has been created here by a MacBook Air user although it should work on almost any Intel based Mac. Google Chromium OS is based on Linux, starts up in seconds and is mainly designed for the Web.


Google Chromium OS is currently only available as source code, which you can download and compile by yourself to create an image file compatible with any virtual machine solution, such as Parallels or VirtualBox. Chromium OS is the open source version of Google's Chrome OS which currently only ships pre-installed on Notebooks and Netbooks.
