The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work. Continue reading Google Announces Google Chrome Operating System – Mac Rumors

Meklort and I worked on the project again last night and things are shaping up quite well. The NetbookBootMaker is now reverting back to the DellEFI method of caching kext for the installation. We ran into too many issues with the new method… like Kernel Panic and missing Quartz Extreme.
