Installing Google Chrome OS in a virtual machine VMWare Fusion 3

Google presentation died down its long-awaited operating system Google Chrome OS, which is based on a lightweight version of Debian Linux and starts at the start of his only customized Chrome browser, so you can launch Gmail, Google Calendar and other sites. Here we do not talk about the shortcomings of the OS, in which login will not work if there is no active internet access. We simply teach you to install it on a virtual machine and look at it with my own eyes.

So, first you need OC Windows or Mac OSX installed VMWare Fusion 3, which is necessary to establish the image of chrome-os-0.4.22.8-gdgt.vmdk widely available on the Internet, for example on ThePirateBay.

The illustration below shows how to overcome the most difficult moment of installation.

Then simply select the loaded cast of Google Chrome OS and proschelkivaya screen by screen, you get to the login page novozagruzhennoy operating system, which, by the way, even in the virtual machine will start in 5-6 seconds on my 2.4 Hz processor.

The first screen of the new operating system - this authorization, which is built entirely on the online Google Accounts login system, but because without the Internet you just do not get it :)

But where to begin your work in the new OS: Gmail, Google Calendar and endless browsing with ugly fonts. The latter, by the way, you can make a discount, as the assembly Chrome OS engineering and fit no more than an understanding of what is waiting for us with you.

I can not quote Sergei PetrenkoThat I fully agree with the opinion of today:

Needless to say, the thin client concept is so geeks like what delight there is no limit. Watching the enthusiasm of people, which in 2009 showed a thin client that does not even include free internet, you understand that this phenomenon is not technical, and socio-psychological.

Welcome to the future ...

Well, a few screenshots from Google, you will see in the e version of the proposed engineering.
