How do I install this? I'm guessing I can just create a boot camp partition but what about the drivers?

If you wait a little while the Mac version is coming out soon. Stephen Fry was testing it earlier this week...

^^^ Chrome, the OS, not the browser.

OP, you can install it through BC or virtualization, but you will have to find the drivers on your own. Much like if you were to install Ubuntu right now.

Ok. Thanks a lot.

EDIT: I'm looking at the download page, and I notice "Chrome OS is not related to Google." So now I'm sceptical. Also, the Gizmodo post in my RSS reader has actually been deleted from the website.
