How to get Google ChromeOS and Install it in VirtualBox

Want to install Google’s Chrome OS? Here’s how:

First, create a bunk Gmail account you wont care about or use, just incase this has some code in it that will steal Gmail info. I have scanned this file with MBAM, SAS, MSSE, AVG, and Avast, just to be safe. Next, you are going to need ChromeOS: http://is.gd/57eYX (note that it is a torrent download, you will need software like Utorrent in order to download it.)

google-chrome-navigateur-webOnce It is downloaded, Extract it. Mac OS X should be able to do it automatically, but for Windows you will need 7-zip, a free extracting utility. Right-click the downloaded file, and extract wherever you want to extract it too with 7-zip. Once It is extracted, fire up Virtualbox.

Create a new machine, and hit next. Name it whatever you want to name it, and change the OS Type to Linux [leave the version Ubuntu]. Give it as much RAM as you want, and hit “Next.”  Use an existing hard disk, hit the folder icon next to the name. Hit “add,” and navigate to where you extracted ChromeOS to, and hit “select.” Hit “next,” then “finish,” and you now have Google ChromeOS at your fingertips to use whenever you want to!

Microsoft gives me the blues.

Today, I was going to my PC to burn some audio files to CD. I start up Windows XP on my PC that I built myself. Now, mind you, this is the third PC I have built with no problems. And yes, it has the neon glow, blu-ray burner, etc.

The specs on this particular PC are as follows:

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.66 GHz
3 GB of Ram
Two 160GB Hard Drives and a 40GB Backup drive
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
I go to start up Nero, and burn the first CD with no problems. I go to insert another CD, and I get a bloody welcome to a BSOD. So I reboot.

I do the same process again, and BSOD #2 appears. I reboot.

I makes it to the Windows XP welcome screen, and BSOD #3 appears. I reboot, this time with a Windows 7 disc in hand.

I install Windows 7, with no trouble, and finish my CD burning tasks.

I think Nero may have killed my Windows XP OS. And if that’s all it takes to kill an OS, thanks Microsoft. So here’s to Windows 7!

It’s a good thing I have several Macs. Those are my primary systems. And they never fail. NEVER.

But I am still a fan of Windows. I grew up on Windows, mostly. My father had a Macintosh Performa in the early 90’s, which I still have to this day.
