1st post from Chrome OS

Seems to be handling both the Java and the Flash with no problems, just a bit of formatting issues, as I cannot get it to change the default 800×600 resolution. Tried to watch a video on Hulu earlier too, took several minutes to load the starting commercial and then the page went non-responsive, check out the screen shots below…

right looks like the flash is not happening… the pages were actually locked up and non-functioning. so no hulu, no youtube, and no file uploads for my blog… will give it a shot again later. But for now, I’m finishing this post via Win7.  Hulu did load and I was able to select a video clip to play, and then everything went down hill… will try again later…

I did notice a couple more things, first you have to log into Chromium using your google account, but everytime you go to a google website, you have to log in with your google account… second, besides not being able to change you screen resolution, I can’t change the screen saver time out either, so basically there are no system wide configuration options yet (ie. windows control panel).

On a good note, the web browser is faster in the virtual machine than IE is in Win7…
