I just downloaded chromium on my Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz 4 GB of DDR3 SDRAM. I am running it with VirtualBox virtualization software, and I dedicated to it 1 GB of ram. I don't know why, but the OS appears to be very, very, laggy. I don't think that this is because I am running it on virtualization software. I also found that many users on Youtube with very powerful computers had the same problem
Some things that I am suggesting for the new Google Chrome OS: Make it easier to switch windows not tabs. Maybe I am blind, but after 30 minutes of trying to figure out how to switch windows, I still couldn't(btw can someone teach me how.) Google, this is to you, it is impossible that all are applications today can be just run on the internet. This is bad, because even Gmail only has 7,000 MB of storage. So I think Google Docs should be an offline application built into the operating system just like how AppleWorks came with Mac OS X a few years ago. Please try to improve Google Docs. I found it to be very basic and having less then half the features of Microsoft Word. I think if Google improves the basic built-in applications, then their operating system will become more popular. The fact that there is no animations or slide transition affects on the presentation software is a really bad thing. Also that there is no font called Times New Roman is a bad thing. Many people that are in college need Times New Roman for essays, and if they don't use it points could be taken off. If you're going to have an OS, you should build more applications for it. All the applications that you made in the past should be incorporated into the operating system. Things like Google Earth and Google Sketch-Up. You should have a base application that is in your tabs. This application could be the windows equivalent to "My documents" or the mac equivalent to "Finder." Even though you say that storing all your files on docs.google.com is a better thing (i am not sure that you said this and please pardon me if you didn't), there should be storage of documents on that computer's hard disk to make sure the files stay safe and unharmed. Chromium needs to be more than a browser with a few more applications. My friends came next to me when I was using Google Chromium and asked me where could I download that browser. I think that Google Chromium should be more than just a browser with some applications, it should have a UI that consists of the browser, some kind of Taskbar where you can pin frequently used applications and it needs to have a trash. Finally incorporating some 3D or 2D affects into the OS would be nice add-on to finish it off. -- Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss
