The magic in ChromeOS is the hardware Google uses from the Chromebooks. There is an unofficial site with images for Chromium(?)OS but it doesn't look pretty.

What is the magic beyond SSD (and good acpi/power management integration), trusted boot (using a TPM), and OpenGL?

Beyond that I hope they have some better fonts on the Chromebooks.

I can't imagine what would one do with a ChromeOS VM when you have native Chrome builds available. Once the novelty factor wears out (and it does, pretty quickly), there is nothing to be done except delete the vm.

Otoh, I see the value in a secure device like the Chromebook and I think this is what ChromeOS is selling, not just the actual OS.
