Chrome OS mind games begin, Acer aims to be the first to launch it
December 2nd, 2009 by Annkur
Views may differ on this, but if you see it from my eyes the mind games over Chromium have begun. After Dell’s attempt to show its friendly side to Chrome OS with a supported version officially available to play with (for the Mini 10v), Acer has now responded with a claim to Digitimes that they would be the first netbook maker to feature Chrome OS in the second half of 2010.
While Dell wasn’t a part of the official partner list that Google released for Chrome OS development, the computer manufacturer scored an early win by cashing in on the Google OS hype. A beta to play with is good enough to create buzz and please the geeks. But now Acer, after having its hands partly burnt with Android, is hoping to score big with Chrome OS. All the best folks, just deliver us some cool tech 
Wonder: Will Acer launch a Windows 7 / Chrome OS dual boot netbook ?

Well, I certainly hope Acer makes a better fist of this than the Android netbook, which was frankly a disappointment. One could not install anything on the Android partition and needed to go online for everything. The only good part was that running Android seemed to make the battery last a bit longer.
