Want To Try Out Google Chrome OS For Yourself? Here’s How.
The public debut of Google Chrome OS today has the press abuzz over the potential of the new web-based operating system. And now that it’s open sourced, you have the chance to try it out for yourself. Unfortunately, most people aren’t ready to undertake the daunting task of actually taking Google’s recently open-sourced code and turning that into a bootable computer. So we’ve put together a step-by-step guide to doing this, for free, in around 15 minutes (depending on how long it takes to download the OS itself). No, this won’t get your computer booting Chrome OS natively (and frankly, you probably wouldn’t want to yet anyway). But it will get it up and running in a virtual machine using the free software VirtualBox, which is available for Macs, PCs, and Linux.

I'm not really sure about this, having a limited operating system won't really be off interest to those that have used PC's for awhile and are used to having full control of their system.
I'm sure however that this will be useful to those new to PC's or that have limited hardware to run the full functionality OSs.
As for the article above, since the OS is linked to the major Google services you need a Google account to login, which is pretty annoying especially when you receive an error and can't actually login.
Guess I'll need to wait.
