Fake Google ChromeOS previewed (video)
Update: OK, this is another fake. Google Spell check didn't catch the "Tree easy steps" part. Neither did we. And that tweet was from the Unofficial Chrome developers account.
Google's ChomeOS was announced a few months ago as a mainstream operating system for Netbooks (and tablets?!). Today, via unofficial Tweet, Google is showing off the first video of the operating system.

The OS is mostly just a log on to Google services (and it looks like it has a touch screen/tablet component to it). We also see Skype, video camera and a music applications there in that super-exposé mode as well.
Steve Jobs cited growing competition between Google and Apple as reasons why Eric Schmidt had to be removed from the Apple board of directors. This would be that competition.

it says "Sign up in TREE simple steps". Come on....
it looks like a kindergarten!
Oh.. *bloobies*. That makes *so* much more sense... :p
Wow, what a let down. Brings nothing new to the table and looks like crap.
That wasn't Google's tweet.
Am I missing something here or did I just see a messier more random version of your average mobile phone with a circular mouse "pointer". Looks like a total heap of crap to me. Didn't get what was going on at all.
Cant see the point of this at all !!! No thanks, not interested, wont use it.
So, they have Dashboard &Widgets in their OS. Plus, a built-in dictionary application which, at least, seems to have the same icon with OS X's.
I smell a fake...
Would have taken a while, but surely this could have easily been made on flash? I think its fake anyway, Google wouldn't make something like this.
Wow, that was a piece of junk. I do kinda like the round mouse pointer in a weird way, but that's about it. Seriously clunky and confusing interface. Maybe good for a set-top-box device like WebTV was, but that's about it. Wouldn't want it on a desktop.
It also misspells "Sign out" as "Sing out" in the bottom left corner. Wow. You were really taken in by this one dude.
OMG, it has CHESS!
lol Tree easy steps...haha.. what losers would make a fake Google Chrome video preview?
