Yes, but you have to download OpenOffice and StarOffice onto your PC's hard drive, for which a larger, more expensive hard drive is needed over what comes in a netbook.

It's clear that Google Chrome OS is designed to facilitate 'cloud computing' — a shifting of the infrastructure (mostly applications) used by PCs from the desktop/laptop device to a data center/network. In theory, Chrome OS represents a direct and viable threat to the status quo in operating systems as it doesn't require the microprocessor power or disk space needed with other OSs, and therefore reduces the cost of the computer itself. AAMOF, Chrome OS is designed for netbooks; their x86 or ARM microprocessors, and solid state hard drives.

Chrome OS' influence upon expanding Internet access will be indirect, at best. Yes, it makes the computer itself more affordable, but consumers will still face fees averaging $40/month (for broadband). And consumers will likely have to pay for the various applications, i.e.; word processing, spreadsheets, etc., that they'll use.

The anonymous poster is correct. To get Chrome OS up and running this early in the game you first need to download Chrome OS from gadget Website gdgt (registration required) or a torrent from Pirate Bay. After that, you need to download a VM solution such as VMWare or VirtualBox.

Techcrunch has a step-by-step guide if you decide to use VirtualBox as your VM solution. Here is the link: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/19/guide-inst...

“Chrome OS is not something that you will be able to download and install on your computer.”

Not true, you just have to have compatible hardware or VM runtime environmnet. I have it running on 3 computers that aren't netbooks right now.
