While there are many operating systems like Windows and mac available to users then why would somebody switch to a new platform which they aren't familiar with ? Well all the answers are hiddn in thse questions. Lets find them out.
What is Chrome OS ?
Chrome is a web based operating system that allows you to use web applications on your personal computer and the best part is that it automatically syncs data across your chrome devices weather it is an iPhone or an android device.The data stored on your chrome device is not stored locally anywhere it is stored in the cloud and is never present on the installed hard drive.
Chrome OS is made to render web based applications like Google docs and other Google services with all the chrome store apps without lags and any other glitches.
Understanding chrome OS
Chrome OS is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed by Google to work with web applications and installed applications. Initially, Chrome OS was almost a pure web thin client operating system.with only handful of native applications but then google encouraged developers to make packaged applications and more apps were introduced to the system.And some of them were also developed to work offline also.
Packaged apps are modified Web applications written in HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. They have the look and feel of traditional "native" applications and lack the address bar, tab strip and other elements typically associated with an application that runs on a browser. Packaged apps load locally and are thus less dependent on the network and more apt to remain functional without an Internet connection.
Support for Android applications
At Google I/O 2014, a proof of concept showing Android apps, including Flipboard, running on Chrome OS was presented. In September 2014, Google introduced a beta version of the App Runtime for Chrome (ARC), which allows Android applications to be used on Chrome OS, using a Native Client-based environment that provides the platforms necessary to run Android software. Android apps do not require any modifications to run on Chrome OS, but may be modified to better support a mouse and keyboard environment. As with other Chrome OS software, these apps are distributed through Chrome Web Store, and appear as native programs within application menus. As of its introduction, Chrome OS support is only available for selected Android apps, including Duolingo, Evernote, Sight Words, and Vine. Google stated that it was working with selected Android developers to add more supported apps to ARC over the coming months.
verdict
Well, Chrome is not a kind of and os That you bring to your home desk.Its made to rest in your office and contribute towards your bank balance without hesitations but expecting it to deliver performance or high end gaming would be a little unfair.
