Developing Chrome OS on Mac

Question

Google has just announced the release of its Chromium / Chrome OS product :

• Hi, open source developers. Do you want to help create an operating system for web users?

I am working on a macbook using the snow leopard and I want to start hacking using Google Chrome OS. They suggest using Ubuntu 8.10 linux distro .

I'm curious if any developers could create / use the source code of Chrome OS on Mac, and if no one used the virtual machine or bootcamp on Mac in Ubuntu to develop Chrome OS.

I am looking for the best solution for VM OS that allows me to stay as close as possible to my Mac OS (I don't like the idea of ​​partitioning and rebooting to work in a virtual OS). Are there any free virtual solutions (costs for VMWare Fusion). I could just use bootcamp on linux , but am I looking for a solution that allowed me to stay in Snow Leopard and maybe even share disk space with a virtual OS?
