I can't speak to this:
But per https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01. ... tossupport Chrome OS is not a supported host OS. Virtualbox might work, if the computer is an Intel/AMD/x86-64 PC, but no guarantees.Dupont wrote:Best solution...

Re: Will Chrome OS distribution?
A rather misleading statement IMO. IMV ChromeOS isn't like owning a PC, it's more like running smart terminal software with apps running in the cloud. You don't install local apps and so of course you can't install malware. But that doesn't mean there is no danger, it's just that the danger now comes from server hacks and is beyond your control.Dupont wrote:I hear - Chrome OS is most secure system
Since you can't install apps you are also of course limited to apps made available on the server. AFAIK VirtualBox is not among those.
