ChromeOS from Google takes another step another step in the right direction by adding some support for VPNs, Netflix streaming, and Citrix Receiver support, along with other enhancements.

The new additions allow ChromeOS and the Chromebooks they run on more capable. As with all improvements, Chromebooks self update, so if you have a chromebook you should either start to receive the updates this week, or you can access the “About Chrome OS” thats under the settings icon to the upper right of the browser.

An important addition to the ChromeOS is Citrix Receiver, a Chrome addition that turns a Windows PC and its related applications into a Web app, without any client side installation. Google executives have said that “the Citrix Receiver as an ideal tool for universities or small businesses that would like to provide a virtualized environment with minimal IT hassles”.

Additional Chromebook capabilities also include Netflix support, although just a few minutes of streaming video will more than likely use up a user’s 100 Mbyte month of free data alowance, before the user has to sign in for additional data support. Users are also able to download and install the Kindle Reader, which provide a much more data friendly connection for catching up on the latest eBooks.

Google also noted Google Cloud Print, an addition that it has previously used. Google Cloud Print allows direct printing to a Internet connected printer, or a USB printer that’s connected to a PC via a cable.

For businesses, the addition of VPN support any VPN support, will most likely be seen as a blessing. Google’s Chromebooks also include the original Cr-48, as well as new models from Acer and Samsung’s Series 5, which have an improved touchpad and keyboard.
