Chrome OS is at the beta stage. You can download the free virtual appliance of Chrome OS here:




Download Chrome OS 0.4.220 beta (x86) VMDK


528 MB tar.gz, MD5: da320dd0e411c4e28bdec8e95358fe3c
Hosted by Wuala - Download by BitTorrent





The tarball is containing vmdk and vmx files. You need a free VMware Player or VirtualBox in order to run this appliance.




Now you can also install Chrome OS on your hard disk using this Live CD image:




Download Chrome OS 0.4.220 beta (x86) ISO


518 MB iso, MD5: 7ae6466558e699e8bd5f079029c41450

Download the iso file and burn it into CD-R. Boot the computer from it and when Chrome OS is loaded, click Live Installer on the desktop. Follow the instructions.
Warning: Google Chrome does not work in Live CD mode, you have to install it to the hard disk at first!
