Boot up time comparison: Chrome OS vs Windows 7 vs Ubuntu 9.10

Showing the boot up times of Google Chrome OS, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix. Chrome OS is the fastest by far, though I should note that Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 are not clean installs, so it may be faster. Also, Chrome OS is running off of a USB flash drive. Chrome OS: ~27 seconds Windows 7: ~55 seconds Ubuntu: ~50 seconds Hardware is an Asus EEE PC 1000he netbook (bit.ly 1.66 ghz Atom CPU 2 GB ram 5400 RPM hd (i think) I wrote up some directions on how to make your own bootable USB drive to run Chrome OS so you can give it a try: bit.ly If you have questions, leave a comment or twitter me at twitter.com

    @mysticalclown yes. loading os 20-25sec (include type password), power off for 10sec. my laptop model is IBM ThinkPad Z61t.

  2. mysticalclown says:

    cause all the applications & games are mostly on windows and if you’re professional or gamer you want software that only windows have (or mac)
    Where i can download this os? ITs so fast really?

  3. blooperM79 says:

    costs:
    ubuntu — 0RUR
    windows 7 professional 10500RUR (~250EUR)

    for why you need pay, if those both systems are eq.?

    @nvanadium
    I’ll proudly suggest Ubuntu 9.04, I had a little problems with the Ubuntu 9.10 that’s why I’m not suggesting it but the previous one is great. I returned to it (9.04) and can tell you that I install it to my little brother Inspiron-mini and works great,? all drivers worked and of course 300% faster than the xp home edition..

    Any questions, how to boot from live USB or anything dont hesitate to ask

    Looks like it took nearly 15 seconds for Windows 7 to shut down, and something like 7 seconds for Ubuntu to shut down.

    What are you smoking. Google OS is based off GNU/LInux which has been around since the 80′s. Google OS is going to be awesome.

  14. casschin says:

    I think that Chrome OS is going to serve a different purpose than Windows. I can see myself using Chrome OS on a netbook to just access the web. If I want to do heavier computing (photo editing, games, etc), I’ll reach for my Windows computer.

  15. lizardmannnn says:

    Google took 1 year to make an os… Windows spent over 20… Hmmm…… Windows is always going to be better.

  16. redspade04 says:

    haha, i love it how google claims its the fastest when my mac boots os x in 15secs and ubuntu 9.1 (after some grub tweaks) 11secs (24secs with out tweaks). plus you get a full os with even windows.

    google can sucks on my macbooks balls

  17. casschin says:

    I would go for Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I tried out moblin last year and it’s a little buggy, not as feature complete as Ubuntu.

    You could always try out both yourself, they’re free.

  18. nvanadium says:

    Thanks for posting the video. I’m trying to find out which OS is best for my Dell Mini 10v (XP is a bit sluggish). Thinking maybe either Moblin or Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Any suggestions anyone?

  19. ghhgtd says:

  21. celicboris says:

    just delete partiotion on usb in computer administration on windows control panel and everything will be ok :) you will have 4gb but then your chromium will be deleted totaly

  22. robertcarter1987 says:

    yah execpt its not a true os its just a web browser that can run on its own.

  23. zelgadiss says:

    ask me how long long my iphone boot time is.

    probably over 4 minutes.

  24. 13Sakke13 says:

    That can’t be call the manufacturer or the probleme is that you have a 1Gb stick instead of 4Gb

  25. acrazyplayer0 says:
