Chrome OS is at the beta stage. You can download the free virtual appliance of Chrome OS here:




Download Chrome OS 0.4.220 beta (x86) VMDK (http://www.wuala.com/chromeos/download/Chrome_OS.i686-0.4.220.vmx.tar.gz/)

The tarball is containing vmdk and vmx files. You need a free VMware Player (http://www.vmware.com/) or VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) in order to run this appliance.




Now you can also install Chrome OS on your hard disk using this Live CD image:

Download the iso file and burn it into CD-R. Boot the computer from it and when Chrome OS is loaded, click Live Installer on the desktop. Follow the instructions.
Warning: Google Chrome does not work in Live CD mode, you have to install it to the hard disk at first!
