This is what Aura looks Like!

2012-04-09T13:56:00.000-07:00

If you haven't seen any photos of the aura desktop in chrome os, here is some. It just got a face lift, and it looks awesome. But I wish that I didn't wait until release 20 to get the new window manager. It is boring all cr 48's get is security updates for version 18. I wish they would have kept cr 48 on the list to receive version 19 of chrome os so that us pilots on cr 48 could test it.
