I have been waiting for this day for a very long time. Google’s success with Android and Chrome OS had to eventually find some sort of merging of the two platforms. Two separate platforms in this environment was unsustainable. I am still not convinced that Chrome OS will remain its own operating system, but that’s for a different blog. Today at Google I/O, Google announced that they would be integrating the Google Play Store and Android applications into Chrome OS and Chromebooks that run Chrome OS. While Chromebooks are doing quite well in education and for users that don’t mind a limited library of applications, they were always hampered by a significantly smaller application library. In fact, Chrome OS shipments, according to IDC data surpassed Mac OS shipments in the US in Q1 this year, making Chrome OS the second most popular computer operating system after Microsoft Windows.
