A wonderkid Google fanatic revealed a Chrome OS folder on the Chromium servers recently. In turn, he managed to download the files before Google removed them and has now made the early build of the OS available via rapid share and torrent.

The reader, Richard Frederickson, has uploaded the files here and as buggy as they may be, you can apparently insta the OS if you have linux.

Frederickson shares some screenshots of the Google Chrome OS too for you less inclined to install the OS.

When Techcrunch reposted these I must admit to hoping for a bit more an insight into the inner workings of the OS, the desktop, navigation etc.. That said, these are early builds and we’re not really even supposed to be seeing this release – so who’s complaining.

    Google is NOT a company I am fond of... I mean they are a VERY big company now and really... TOO BIG for their own good!
    Google has become known as a 'spy-happy' company by the intelligent, computer literate and know that Google is one company to stay AWAY from, Free or Not!

    They have hired individuals who make their living as a spy in governmental agencies and the likes to help them in their efforts of spying on us.

    In fact, that is what their Google toolbar is all about! It digs in to your info on your computer and tracks just about everything you do online. Google also NEVER DELETES ANYTHING anymore and keeps all data they ever collect on you or anyone.

    CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF POWER GOOGLE WILL HAVE WHEN MANY FOLKS DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THEIR Operating System????!!!

    WOW!!!

    People... come on... DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!! As my father always told me as a kid, THINK before your act!!!

    Now-a-days, I think, research and then act accordingly.
    If you need to respond to something immediately, go with your gut feeling, but make sure you are reading it correctly by practising using it on all your decisions.

    Google CHURNS MY guts!!!

    Good Luck in whatever you choose to do!!

    Wow, they're going to find out what a boring and quite average person you are!! Like somebody would want to 'spy' or even CARE what you waste your time doing on the internet.

    Internet Usage and World Population Statistics are for September 30, 2009. Number of internet users: 1,733,993,741 out of 6,767,805,208 people. If you think your internet use differs so greatly or is far more significant than anyone else's, then maybe you SHOULD be paranoid. LOL
