Google rolling out Pilot Program

[ThePowerOutage]

We're all ears.

The Chrome operating system is a work in progress. We’re looking for the right users to try it out and tell us how we can make it better.

Each participant in the Pilot program will receive a Cr-48 Chrome notebook; in return, we'll expect you to use it regularly and send us detailed feedback.

Sound interesting? Please note:

Chrome OS is for people who live on the web.
It runs web-based applications, not legacy PC software.

The Pilot program is not for the faint of heart.
Things might not always work just right.

The Pilot program is open to individuals, businesses, schools, non-profits and developers based in the United States. Learn about Chrome notebooks for business

Applicants must be at least 18 years of age. We'll review the requests that come in and contact you if you've been selected.

If only I was born a year earlier. Being 17 sucks. So much stuff you're just out of range for.

Nope, 60k at least they are sending, and from what I understand only about 3000 have been sent out,

I signed up for one.

I submitted my application even though I'm not 18. I hope I get one.

Applied and I am old enough. And Im sure the German is wrong about these already being sent out. Why would the application still be there if they have already been sent.

I just sent my application. I hope I can get one. Does it matter if you do it today? Because since this program just opened today maybe I have a better chance of getting it then the people who are getting it tomorrow.

Well, tough luck Google. If it was open to Canadians then I could of tested it out for you. But you have to be picky about making it just for Americans and skipping a very large group of people who could test the piss out of it for you. Bad call.
