The ones that enabled them to launch the most popular Linux distribution in the world by far? One that's really really hard to break because it uses phone-like A/B partitioning with read-only OS installation making separately updateable system browser hard.
It was a tradeoff, and a good one based on history. Remember that, as long as the device isn't EOL, ChromeOS updates with the same cadence as Chrome the browser.

- ajross 3y agoI'm not following. Is there a particular market you feel isn't getting updates? I'm sure there are exceptions somewhere (I'm certainly no expert, I do firmware) but effectively there are no market-specific ChromeOS builds. A Chromebook is a Chromebook anywhere in the world, and gets the same images off the same internet as any other Chromebook.
