    Google Chrome OS VMware image surfaces on BitTorrent

    Posted on Friday, November 20 2009 @ 21:14:52 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck


    TechCrunch reports a Google Chrome OS image for VMware has been published on BitTorrent. Instructions on where to download it and how to run it with VirtualBox can be found over here.
    First, a few caveats: we didn’t create the Chrome OS build ourselves — it was downloaded from BitTorrent. In theory it could possibly have been tweaked by some malicious hacker to steal your Google account information (this is unlikely, but who knows). There’s an easy fix if you’re worried though: just go make a throwaway Gmail account, and use that to play around with the OS. Also note that because this is running in a virtual machine, you’re probably not going to be seeing great performance (like that 7 second boot time). But it’s more than good enough to get a feel for the OS for yourself.
