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.
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?
costs:
ubuntu — 0RUR
windows 7 professional 10500RUR (~250EUR)
for why you need pay, if those both systems are eq.?
my be on that machime w7 better ubuntu… but on my laptop, ubuntu i 2 time harry up of w7.
windows os not sucks, but not very good. and, ubuntu is good os.
thanks mate!
@gaskete Chrome OS is all browser…so i’d assume no

sweet i have ut2004 too
@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
Great Man;) U using W7 “Ultimate” its iso file 4+”gb”, Chrome OS iso 200+mb, Ubuntu 9.10 OS iso 700mb, u need to do more tweak on W7 to run it faster cos of diff in OS size man, I running Dual boot of W7 and Ubuntu, run OS X and Chrome OS in Virtual Box..try it all and pick ur choice..Chrome OS can be fast and great for low spec laptop,If u still using Mac, Window, linux dont be Fanboy cos ur not earning $….CHROME OS u will rock 1 day man
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.
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.
Google took 1 year to make an os… Windows spent over 20… Hmmm…… Windows is always going to be better.
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
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.
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?
where i can download chrome os
google os suck.
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
yah execpt its not a true os its just a web browser that can run on its own.
ask me how long long my iphone boot time is.
probably over 4 minutes.
That can’t be call the manufacturer or the probleme is that you have a 1Gb stick instead of 4Gb
@cdiaz1998, I would say its an operating system that is only a browser lol
