I love VirtualBox. I use it for testing web apps in IE, mostly. In my experience, it works really, really well. It's pretty easy to set up internal vLANs between guest machines, too.<div><br clear="all">Ben<br><br>--<br>

Thought I might have a play with ChromeOS on my Mac.<br>
Although I have Parallels, It led me to VirtualBox, so thought I would try<br>
that.<br>
Downloaded VirtualBox, easy enough.<br>
<a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads" target="_blank">http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads</a><br>
Installed reasonably.<br>
Downloaded the ChromeOS build from <a href="http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/" target="_blank">http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/</a><br>
Had to untar (double click) to get the image.<br>
<br>
I thought this was going to be a description of how to do it, but I ran out<br>
of time trying to make it notice the CD to boot off, and have stopped :-)<br>
<br>
In the end I just downloaded the Parallels image :-)<br>

Seems to work alright.<br>
<br>
Also, any reports on actually using VirtualBox for other things?<br>
