AndroidĪlthough Linux lies underneath both Android and Chrome OS, Android was the first operating system to make the migration to Chromebooks. It's really just an advancement on the abilities inherent in today's web. These use CSS, HTML5, and JavaScript to deliver a traditional desktop-like program experience.
Soon, however, it supported its own native Chrome Apps. In the beginning, it was little more than the Chrome web browser running on a thin layer of Linux. Except for Apple's macOS and iOS, you'll soon be able to run any of the most popular end-user operating systems on a Chromebook.ĬhromeOS itself has also evolved. No, Google is doing this because they want Chromebooks to be universal computing devices. The market has spoken, and there's more than enough room and profit for Chromebooks to thrive.
Google is not making this move because Chromebooks can't compete with Windows. That's one reason why Chromebooks have long supported not just the internet-friendly Chrome OS, but Android, Linux, and now Windows - yes, Windows - as well.Ĭhromebooks: Four operating systems in one No matter how fast your internet gets, it's never going to be as fast as the interconnect between your SSD and your memory, never mind your RAM and your CPU. Some programs will always run better on local machines. Recently, with the release of Microsoft 365 and Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD), it's become obvious Microsoft wants you to be working on its Azure cloud.īut, for all that, conventional desktops aren't going away. Microsoft has been moving Windows to a DaaS model for years. More recently, with Chromebooks leading the way, most major technology companies are moving to a Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) model, where even your desktop resides much more on the cloud than in your office. Every corporate program - and I mean every corporate program - has been moving to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.
