Running Google Chromium OS inside Parallels 5

So Google has released a working version of Chromium Os. It is just in the begining phases of development so there’s not much there, and it’s quite slow. Nonetheless I wanted to try it. The way posted on the chromium site, is for Linux geeks, and since I’m not great with Linux, I found there was a way around that. There is a VMware image on gdgt.com, however I am running Parallels 5. I ran a Google search, and found a site that explained step by step how to get it running on Parallels 5. Click Here to visit the tutorial.

Finally here is a picture of me running Chromium OS in Parallels 5.

Linux Welcomes Microsoft to Twitter and gets a reply

Thanks to @chrisLAS, I visited the @Microsoft twitter account, and noticed that they were thanking @linux. I found that funny so I checked out the linux account, which was welcoming Microsoft account. I took screenshots in case no one believes this and incase the tweets mysteriously disappear.

@Microsoft Thanks @linux

@Linux Welcomes @Microsoft
