Chrome OS has finally received its first major version update and this update is a stable release for Chrome OS.

With the release of latest Chrome version 13.0.782.108, Google has addressed bucketful of issues that were bothering Chrome OS users for a long while.

On the list of updates that Chrome OS is getting, here are some of the most crucial updates:

• In-built support for VPN: With latest Chrome update, Chrome OS netbooks will now have in-built support for use in Virtual Private Network. That would be a major relief for IT administrators, especially those who ordered Chrome OS netbooks for their entire staff in bulk. However, L2TP over IPsec with PSK is supported at the moment and L2TP over IPsec with certificate-based authentication is coming soon.
• Citrix receiver: With the introduction of Citrix receiver, Google is trying to bring comfort to those masses who want same Windows apps be present on Chrome OS as well. Citrix Receiver is meant to convert all your windows apps into Chrome web apps. So, you will get the same comfort of using windows apps on Chrome OS.
• Netflix support: Google Chromebooks will now have native Netflix support but one will have to be very careful about streaming costs as even couple of minutes of HD streaming may run into 100s of Mbs of data consumption, which will easily cross the free monthly limit of 100Mb of data usage.
• Google Cloud Print has also been updated and whatever bugs were bothering the users while printing from their Chromebooks will not be a problem anymore.
