Chrome OS Beta channel has been updated to R11 (release 0.11.257.44)

Chrome OS is an open-source project that aims to build an operating system that provides a fast, simple, and more secure computing experience for people who spend most of their time on the web.

Google has been updated Chrome OS Beta channel to R11 release 0.11.257.44 including the new Chrome 11 Beta, new trackpad and several stability and functional improvements over the previous release.

Chrome OS R11 (release 0.11.257.44) Beta release contains the following fixes:

• We are now running Flash Player on a new platform known as Pepper/PPAPI by default, which we hope will improve stability and performance. It is also running inside a full sandbox which further protects users from malware and security exploits.
  
• An NPAPI version of Flash Player is still included, but not used by default. If you experience significant problems or incompatibilities with the (default) PPAPI version, you can switch to the NPAPI version using chrome://plugins.
  
• Several WiFi bug fixes are in
  
• Enabled GSM support for 3G via commands in crosh
  
• AutoUpdate now supports Proxy AutoConfiguration (PAC) files and automatic proxy detection
  
• New window switcher UI
  

In addition, there are several new features in Chrome 11 including:

• Chrome 11 contains some really great improvements including:
• HTML5 speech input API
• GPU-accelerated 3D CSS
• The brand new shiny Chrome icon
