Early Screenshots Show Chrome OS with a Cover Flow Style

They're design ideas that could change, from early builds of an OS that's not released. But peeking around the early design ideas for Chrome OS reveals what kind of netbook experience Google's shooting for when it eventually comes out.

There's a big notice under the Chrome OS Features section of the open source Chrome's user experience documents: "UI under development. Designs are subject to change." There is, however, an assumption that with Chrome due to arrive sometime around November, there won't be a complete change of direction. The notable and somewhat new images show a window management scheme influenced by Apple's Cover Flow scheme for iTunes and Finder, along with some early looks at how files and removable media will be managed.
