I've always wondered why my Mac jumps right on the network, while other devices such as my Xbox 360 take a few seconds before the connection is there.

I'd be interested to see how the Google Chrome CR-48 handles DHCP since it seems like it takes a bit of time before getting online and allowing me to log in to it.

ChromeOS is based on linux, so I'd expect something similar to what Android does: userland dhclient with the same performance profile as the tablet he tested.

I think I'd still prefer the standards compliant client, even if it was a slightly slower. Kicking other users off the network isn't a good thing.
