How To: Install and Run Google Chrome OS in a Virtual Machine
On 11/19/2009, Google released the code behind Chrome OS. Dubbed Chromium OS, Google is essentially allowing you to test their operating system before the 2010 release date. Apparently, it’s been a little difficult to get this OS running straight from google’s code so I suggest downloading a pre-constructed image from gdgt: gdgt.com From their, just install in vmware or Virtual Box and Enjoy!

Can give me you virtual machine’s link? Is it free?
Preview of Google Chrome OS on my page.
WHY AM I NOT LOGIN IN?
Very good tutorial. I may get the OS when i can. I’m too lazy to do it right now
this is just like google chrome browser! :O
nice video 5 outta 5 
I am trying to install it in my windows7 in VirtualBOX, but VB just does not recognize .vmbk any solution? I tried VMware as well but to no avail.
this video was amazing
It may just be something with my computer lol
wth its linux it shouldnt b lemme try

If you don’t have the chrome os requirements, you wouldn’t be on youtube.
maybe once they make it more robust than the browser I have installed on my machine I’ll give it a look
I have two questions,
1. Can chrome os harm my computer if something goes wrong with it
2. Do I need the chrome os system requirements to do this
Thanks! I have never done this and I am a noobie =P
That’s not true. Both VMWare and Virtual Box support Windows.
I’m not sure, but just download Vmware fusion and use the demo. There is a youtube video saying the serial code.
I used Virtual machine but I can’t log in, so I’m downloading Vmware now.
Yeah, this doesn’t help if you want to install it on windows.
Sweet I’m gonna try this out! Thanks!
ok so i just looked at your sorry profile, 53 subs, my bad. btw i have 57, so your point about me not have any didn’t make any sense. and your saying bad words about my dad…… lololololololololol, i have never heard a comment about someones dad, especially with the name iLoveeApple(nice spelling btw, couldn’t think of an original name?) And you say you like Sony and apple, and hate Microsoft. Lol your missing out on the best game console and 2nd most customizable platform.
In simple terms, Download Google Chrome Browser (its the same!! – When Chrome OS release i am sure Chrome Browser will have an update to work like the OS)
