Google is looking to take over the desktop with Aluminium OS

ChromeOS is more than a decade old, but it has never posed a real threat to Macs and PCs in the high or mid-range category. It was not because there weren’t any premium Chromebooks, but because the underlying OS wasn’t on par with the powerful features users have on Windows and macOS.

This was one of the reasons the rumors of Google looking to replace ChromeOS with Android felt believable when they first surfaced in November last year. We can no longer treat it as merely a rumor because Google made it official at this year’s Snapdragon Summit. And now, the company has accidentally revealed more information about what users can expect from Android on the desktop.
