Google’s open-source Chrome OS is expected to release before the end of 2010, but eager adopters can get a preview of it now. You’ll first have to install VMware, which is a virtualization software that will allow you to run Chrome OS from within Windows, Mac OSX , or Linux. Google released the open-source code for developers, but for those of you who just want to give the OS a test run, you can find a virtual machine image here that will run along with VMware.
If you’re not quite ready to jump through hoops and give Chrome OS a hands-on test run on your personal computer, check out the Chrome OS demo video below for a quick look at what the operating system is all about.

Hey calm and wait…
For those who still can´t log into the network in Google Chromium follow next:
Go to Virtual Machine Settings/Hardware/Network Adapter
once there, choose:
"Bridged: Connected directly to the physical Network"
Ok, now the problem is fixed.
Enjoy!
herp derp it just werks
Ronald, you should just give up and install gentoo
It looks silly to me. I'd rather have a real OS not just a glorified web browser…
How much will this cost for me to download this to run my netbook? and how hard will it be to dump windows and install chrome os? I looks great, which all google products do. Can't wait till it comes out.
Awesome!!! CHROME ROCKS!! Good work gooGle :)
