Since last December 2010 when I first received my Cr-48 Chrome OS notebook, I have been requesting a capability to allow switching between Chrome browser window instances without requiring a keystroke or plugin. After four months, the Chrome OS team finally implemented this enhancement as a new UI widget in the upper right-hand corner of the Chrome OS interface. It works very nicely and allows me to switch between browser windows without touching the switch window key. Good job folks!
Additionally, I noticed a new Chrome browser behavior in the most recent Chrome OS update. When I double-click on a word or phrase within a web page, after a few milliseconds, a search icon popups up near the highlighted text. When I click on the search icon, it opens a new browser tab containing the search results page as if I searched for the highlighted text in Google Search. Now this is really practical and very efficient. I can't wait until they put this in the general Chrome web browser release for all platforms.
Keep up the good work. I think Chrome OS is maturing very well. All my Adobe Flash issues appear to be resolved with the last few updates to Chrome OS and the Flash Player 10.2, sandboxing, and other features that are not active. The major areas I see that need to be enhanced prior to general release this summer are chromoting and Java support. I haven't seen much activity on the chromoting and Java support would be icing on the cake.
