If you have a Chrome OS system (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/09/hp-chromebook-11-review/), you know it can be a hassle to sign out just so that someone else can borrow the computer for a few minutes. That may not be an annoyance for much longer, though. A new developer version of Chrome OS includes experimental code (https://plus.google.com/u/0/+FrancoisBeaufort/posts/dje6sgYwoBa?cfem=1) for running multiple profiles at once; after others sign in, you can switch between users at the drop of a hat. You can even send windows to different profiles. There's no certainty that Google will bring multi-account support to a polished Chrome OS release, but those willing to take some risks can switch to the Dev channel to try the feature today.
