I think Chrome OS needs a great virtualization solution - just how chrome handles PDFs and Flash fairly well. I want to be able to open a "windows" tab or an "ubuntu" tab, use them normally.
- mbreese 14y agoDon't they include a Citrix/RDP client? I thought that was one of their main features when they pitched ChromeOS to the enterprise. With that and VNC, I'm sure it would be possible to roll your own virtualization. I think there are just too many variables for them to deploy a generic system. unless you want Google to host the VMs as well. That could be interesting.
- deepblueocean 14y agoI've had good luck with Chrome Remote Desktop: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desk... It works from two instances of Chrome, which could be on any platform (not just Chromebooks).
