*Run Chrome OS From a USB Stick or as a Virtual Machine*

Chrome OS notebooks from Acer and Samsung are expected to launch next month

at $349 and $429, respectively. The fact that you can get a more powerful

netbook with Windows 7 pre-installed for roughly the same price, or even

less, is already putting some people off. But that doesn't mean you should

disregard Google's operating system without so much as giving it a try --

especially since it's available as a free download for you to test on your

own hardware.

 

While you'd normally have to build Chromium OS from source to try it out on

your computer, several developers have released installable builds that will

save you the trouble. We'll show you how to create a bootable USB flash

drive with Chrome OS or run the it using a free virtual machine.

 

Thank you.
