Google Chrome OS out now? No, not officially but just one day after it was announced and demoed, its apparently available as an image file for VMWare. For those not familiar, VMWare simply allows you to run different operating systems within your own Windows, Mac OS X, etc. And if you don’t like it, just click and delete, no impact on your current OS whatsoever, therefore its a great way to test new OS’s risk free.

One limitation though, VMWare isn’t free, so the solution to this is to use VirtualBox which does the exact samething and works for all three systems – Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Here are the links you’ll be needing f you want to try out Google’s latest operating system:
