We all agree that Dev Channel is great to test out new features in Chrome OS. But if it's not enough for you, you may want to switch to the edgy Canary channel.
First you need to enable Developer Mode¹, then open a Terminal with the magic keyboard shortcut <Ctrl>+<Alt>+t and enter "shell".
Now, simply enter this command in the shell and you should be good to go:
update_engine_client -channel canary-channel -update
Be aware that this will require a powerwash² when you'll come back to a more stable channel eventually.

BUt CHrome os canary should have run side by side with stable one...like the dual booting
It would be great I agree!
Also, +François Beaufort , this helped me more than you can imagine. I have been using Chrome OS since January 2012 (Hexxeh Builds), and have always been on the dev channel, reporting bugs. This helps me help Chromium / Chromium OS 100x more by providing even more up-to-date bugs.
