Keep in mind that Google Chromium ( Chrome OS ) Is designed for netbooks. There is no guarantee that this will work with any desktop or laptop hardware, including, Motherboards, PCI Slots, Network cards, and some firmware models of the BIOS. 

Google Is going to be releasing a more extensive list of Netbooks and other computers that this operating system is compatible with shortly, as well as updates and hotfixes to ensure that a wider range of computers and hardware is supported.

That being said, I have been alpha and beta testing this operating system now for about 7 months and I absolutely Love the Idea of this OS. Although I have also Been alpha testing Jolicloud ( The Ubuntu netbook OS ) and I find that I like that one A lot more!  Either one of them easily blow Windows out of the water as far as netbooks are concerned though!!!

If you would like an invite To test Jolicloud out Daniel ..They have officially moved into the Beta phase you can get it here!

When you boot into Chrome OS be aware that this will change your Windows time and possibly date. You'll need to do a internet Time sychronization or reset the time yourself.
