Maybe google didn't have a choice. Since MS is talking about an app store, it just might be that the windows platform could become a closed platform(for the sake of security). If google wants to do something about this , it basically have two options: the android option and the chromeOS option. They're trying them both(because of the risks involved). At some point if chromeOS fails , android will become a desktop OS. it's a natural step from using android on tablets, and google probably has people working on this too.
