I suspect that it's built using Native Client (https://developer.chrome.com/native-client https://developer.chrome.com/native-client), not using VNC. "Streaming" in this context probably means that the code and files are dynamically served by the server, rather than referring to streaming video.
- DannyBee 12y agoNo, it's actually streaming. As the link says, they run managed vm's and stream it. As someone else says, VNC is really old technology. We can do better.
- personZ 12y agoNothing in this discussion indicates that anyone knows what streaming technology they're using. However of course there are better and worse technology. Streaming RDP from a Windows box a thousand miles away, for instance, is a world more enjoyable and usable than VNCing to the Mac box connected via a 1Gbps twisted pair. App level virtualization through the same, interacting and engaging with the rest of your desktop, is close to magical.
- DannyBee 12y ago"Nothing in this discussion indicates that anyone knows what streaming technology they're using" I actually do, but i don't know whether it's public, so i don't talk about it. However, i'll point out that Google already has something called Chrome Remote Desktop that already does streaming desktops.
