The first pics of the Chrome OS Beta for devs

Probably a fake, as noted by this comment :

dude, your an idiot. if these shots were real, and you really were putting your job on the line, you wouldnt say ‘I was the last to leave the room’. it wouldnt be that hard to figure out who you are, would it? and as tristan said it seems like you forgot to ps in the mouse pointer. whats more, which google rep demos a new os on a kitchen bench?

Actually it does show the desktop, thats how sad it is.

The guy made some rainbow colored Chrome OS logo which isn't even correct, google never uses rainbow colors beyond the "Google". It looks like XFree + some crappy mac-like window manager.

While I haven't done an exhaustive search of every appearing Google logo, all the ones I have seen have "Google" in a distinct alternating color pattern: b, r, y, b, g, r

The pattern in this alleged screenshot is: y, r, b, g, b, r

Even if these aren't fake (which seems unlikely), they offer zero information. It doesn't even show the desktop, just a start up screen.

Fake.
