In fact, you can spend more time trying to figure out what to call it (CloudReady? ChromiumOS? ChromeOS?) than getting it up and running on your Mac system! Stepping back from the confusion of all these versions and variations, the short answer is yes, you can indeed install and run ChromeOS (in essence) within VMware or VMware Fusion, and it’s actually not too difficult. A company called NeverWare has a pre-compiled, VM-friendly version of ChromiumOS it calls CloudReady that you can download for free directly from their Web site. On the other hand, there is an open source version of ChromeOS that has 99% feature and function overlap called ChromiumOS and that you can install and run as a virtual machine. That’s part of the licensing deal from Google’s ChromeOS development team. No, because you can’t actually run ChromeOS on a non-Chromebook computer. You ask a great question and the answer turns out to be no, but yes.
