We have known about Google Chrome OS for some time now, but we only got a detailed look at the new operating system at a Google event yesterday. We learned a lot from the event, the thing that shocked us the most was how you will not be able to download Chrome OS onto any machine.

We know that Google have partnered with a number of computer manufactures, only these netbooks and laptops will have the new OS installed. However, we did learn that an open source version of Google Chrome OS was made available for download on Thursday.

PC World reports that those who know there way around a computer did not take long in turning the code into something that can work on almost any computer. If you do not want to wait until late next year, then PC World have all the details on how to download and run Google Chrome OS now.

We already know that Google Chrome will not work on any machine; it is for that reason why you have to install the new operating system on a virtual machine. There are two ways how you can do these, use Virtual Box or VMware Player, both have versions for Windows or Mac.
