CR-48 Chromebooks Now get Aura UI with ChromeOS 20

ChromeOS 20 - Aura UI - Screenshot showing Windowed Chrome on a CR-48 Chromebook

I just opened my Chromebook to sit on the couch and do some blogging tonight, and lo and behold – on the Dev Channel, an update was waiting to bring the machine up from ChromeOS 18 straight to ChromeOS 20 – which brought me the Aura UI!

From what I had read earlier regarding the Aura UI, Google was going to skip right past Aura on the CR-48, giving CR-48 users only critical patches & updates.  From what I read, it looked like I was going to have to install Linux on the machine to keep it useful.

So, I was obviously surprised when I saw this tonight!
