Google Chrome OS available as free Virtual box download
Brandon Davenport
The new Chrome OS by Google is ready to wiggle noses and tickle tummies, but are you ready for this? Google's new OS is now available for you to download, free with the help of Virtual Box to get it up and running. If you don't quite know what Chrome OS is yet, check this out, and if you are ready to get this stuff installed there is a tutorial after the break...
First, you need to get an image of Chrome OS. You can download the shiny new OS by using this torrent. You can also try out the build that GDGT has uploaded, which worked fine in TechCrunch's test as well. If you get the torrent version, you’ll see it’s in a .BZ2 format. You’ll need to extract it. Macs should be able to do this automatically, but for Windows you may need a tool like Win Rar. Once that’s done, you will also need download a version of VirtualBox for whatever OS you’re running on here and install it. Then head over to TechCrunch's tutorial on how to set it up. Have fun!
