Differences between Chrome OS and Chromium OS

[Bob Corsaro]

I know that Netflix, for example, is not available on the free(as in freedom) version. Is the free version crippled in any other ways?

"crippled" is a fairly charged word, and imo, not the right one to use here

please see the FAQ:

Wow. That is shocking. Adobe products, synaptic drivers and GOOGLE TALK! I'm very surprised and it seems like an assault on free software. I understand having pressure from the movie industry and not being able to include netflix, although I don't like it, and even device manufactures, but wow, google talk?

[Mike Frysinger]

can't tell if you're serious ...

chat wise, google talk will still work on chromium os. but i don't
know about doing video/audio chats.

Chromium OS developers try to build everything as open sourced in possible.  In fact we even go beyond that most of the time by pushing for any changes made to Chromium OS to be submitted to the appropriate upstream repos rather than just forking or using local patches.

That said some features of Chrome OS and Chromium OS are provided as binary bits or have restricted access as required by the vendors. The Chromium OS developers try to avoid using these and find open source alternatives, but that isn't always possible.  If you look through past CL's or discussions, you'll see people pushing to remove any closed source components.

If you find pieces that you feel there are viable open source alternatives, then the best approach is to work with us, the Chromium OS developers, to replace the closed source components.

I wanted to know if there are any difference in the looks of chrome and chromium, because they looked like like they're from different worlds
