How to Install Google Chrome OS in Windows 7
Few days back i wrote about the launch of Google Chromium Operating System , an Ubuntu 
based free for all OS.The beta release is not available to the general public but in torrents.
Once you have downloaded the .vmdk file you may run it from inside your windows using virtual PC software available freely from sun micro systems site.
What is Virtual Box ?
Virtual Box is an virtualization software package,developed by Sun Microsystems that can be installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional operating systems, each known as a Guest OS, can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment.It allocates hard disk space and RAM and creates a virtual environment for the other operating system to run from inside a host OS already running in the background.
In this step by step tutorial i will explain how you can install and use Google Chromium on your Windows 7 system.
Step 1
Install Sun Virtual Box in your PC.
Step 2
Since we are installing Chromium , we name it Google Chrome or anything you want . It works perfectly.
Step 3
Allocate RAM for the virtual box . More RAM means better performance.
Step 4
Select the .vmdk file here. Its a virtual hard disk in itself so you need not worry about creating one yourself.
Step 5
Once loaded , you are ready to start. Just click on the green arrow in the top of the screen and Chromium is ready to launch.
Step 6
Here you see the chromium login screen. You have to enter your Google Username and Password to access Chromium.
This is how Chromium looks from inside windows 7 system.
