After Google announced the availability of the Chrome OS / Chromium OS source code, Jon Ursenbach who is one of GDGT’s engineers immediately got to work on compiling the code, trying to see if he could get an instance of Chromium OS running in a virtual machine.
He was finally successful!
You can download a copy of the virtual machine to use in VMware (300MB compressed / 700MB uncompressed): http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/download/
