Google Chrome OS made the splash on Friday with it’s announcement that it’s been open sourced.
So, what if you wanted to try Google Chrome OS to get a hands on feel for its awesome features like the 7-second boot time?
TechCrunch has posted a nice tutorial on how to run Google Chrome OS yourself in a virtual machine.

Here is the full version of this tutorial at Techcrunch.
