Here's the catch you have to compile it from source code
Source (http://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/building-chromium-os)
Getting and Building a Chromium-Based OS

Contents

1. 1 Prerequisites
2. 2 Get the source
3. 3 Build Chromium OS
4. 4 Make changes
5. 5 More information

Welcome to Chromium OS!

Our goal here is to give you an idea of how to get started.

Note: For all instructions, make sure you download the client into a local directory. Placing the source and compiling on a network partition will drive you nuts.

Note: These build instructions will evolve over time as the build system is improved. Make sure to periodically check back for the latest information.

Prerequisites
You need to have Linux. We currently support the following:

* Ubuntu (Hardy 8.04 or newer, Karmic 9.10 recommended)
* An account with root access (needed to run chroot and modify the mount table)
* Chromium prerequisites (needed to build a Chromium-based browser as part of building Chromium OS)

sites.google.com is part of Google's web hosting service

That's not an actual Google site. That's what makes it all the more confusing.
