I was wondering about this. It seems that the netbook has given way to the tablet. Is ChromeOS still relevant or, as with many things Google, just a foray into an area that will become something bigger, later.
- anigbrowl 15y agoIs ChromeOS still relevant IMHO, no. Chrome needs to be migrated over to Android (something which appears to be in process, but which is not very stable at present), and the two platforms should merge. Sorry to be a bit handwavey about such a complex topic, but at bottom I see them as two different Linux distributions and think the hardware-specific differences are a sideshow to that. Mind you, we could be looking at another generation or two of tablets (about a year each on current form) for that transition to occur, Microsoft has the right idea with a single cross-platform brand identity.
