Windows 7:
- download Google Chrome OS
- download and install VMWare Player

On my Mac I use Sun Virtualbox, instead of VMWare.

Create the following in a file (e.g: chromeos.vmx) in the same location as the .vmdk file:

.encoding = "UTF-8"
displayName = "Chrome OS"
guestOS = "other"
memsize = "512"

ethernet0.present= "true"
ethernet0.startConnected = "true"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:c5:da:60"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"

usb.present = "true"

ide0:0.present = "true"
ide0:0.fileName="chromeos-image-999.999.32309.211410-a1.vmdk"
ide0:0.deviceType = "disk"
ide0:0.mode = "persistent"
ide0:0.redo = ""
ide0:0.writeThrough = "false"
ide0:0.startConnected = "false"

virtualHW.version = "3"
config.version = "8"

extendedConfigFile = "chromeos-image-999.999.32309.211410-a1.vmxf"
virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted"
sound.present = "FALSE"
floppy0.present = "FALSE"
tools.syncTime = "FALSE"
uuid.location = "56 4d d9 3f 9a 20 7c 60-a5 a2 cb 9e e8 c5 da 60"
uuid.bios = "56 4d d9 3f 9a 20 7c 60-a5 a2 cb 9e e8 c5 da 60"
cleanShutdown = "FALSE"
replay.supported = "FALSE"
replay.filename = ""
vmotion.checkpointFBSize = "16777216"

Open the .vmx file in VMWare Player.
