Google LiveAndroid OS Runs On Virtual Machine

Google LiveAndroid OS Runs On Virtual Machine

With all the recent buzz going on about Google’s New Android cell phones, I thought it would be worthwhile to blog this on VMInstall.com.

If you’re a techie who likes to spend time testing which operating systems they can get to run on a VM. I found that Google has a version of its popular Android OS that is called LiveAndroid. You download the ISO then you can boot your PC from it or create a VM.

The picture shown is LiveAndroid running on VMware Player but it’s been tested on VirtualBox, too.
