Google Chrome OS Webcast continues... Google is not supporting hard drives - only solid state disks - end of 2010 they want to be on the market. Netbooks are the key market...
They said it twice in the preso, they will 'only support ssd drives' [excluding conventional hdd's = (E)IDE/SATA/SCSI-drives] - My guess is, this is pr-lingo for "the netbooks/devices with the Chrome OS logo have to apply to this". The video should be up but is still missing on their blog: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009...

Google Chrome OS Webcast HALT - End of Message - continue with your usual activities, please excuse me...
Any idiot tech journo who credits Google for re-inventing Knoppix Live-CD or equal GNU/Linux Live CD/DVDs that fit on a thumb-drive today, will be visited by me and kicked in the butt for real!
Sorry everybody for the group flooding amount of posts. I thought it would be ok to see it in real time - while you might not be able to watch it. You can block me, but I've stopped now.

I think it was perfect, as I'm working and can't yet take time to see the footage. Thanks again M. Covic. \o,

Google Chrome OS Webcast continues... the security sandbox is very linux like. The system is automatically updated ... by Google. The OS is read-only - hello GNU/Linux, BSD ;)
Google Chrome OS Webcast continues... Google Chrome OS is from now on a full open source project. They seek the hug of the FOSS community and developers.
