The Google Chrome OS project was just released not long ago, and we can already see enthusiast news about Google’s OS preview keeps popping up. Below is an interesting video that compare the booting time between Chrome OS, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.10.
Here’s the result:
- Chrome OS – 24 sec to login screen; 2 to 3 seconds to desktop
- Windoes 7 – 40 sec to login screen; 15 sec to desktop
- Ubuntu 9.10 – 50 sec to desktop (with auto login)
Google Chrome OS is taking only 24 seconds from power-on to the login screen, and then another 2 to 3 seconds to the “desktop”, which is significantly faster than the other two. This is expected as the Chrome OS is really just a browser, while the other two are real Operating System.. I do agree with Google though that for most people, a web browser is all they need as we can do almost everything on the Internet nowadays.
