Giving Chrome OS away for free as a modern UI feature, however, may encourage more people to play around with the platform-and even find a genuinely productive use for the modern UI. While Google has made inroads with Chrome OS, many people still resist Google’s ‘browser in a box’ since you can buy a full-fledged Windows laptop for about the same as a Chromebook. It looks like Windows 8 devices will soon have all the benefits of running two “operating systems” on one device-only without the pain of dual booting or virtualization. Given the massive install of Windows 8 compared to Google’s OS, using the modern UI to deliver Chrome OS is pure genius-and embarrassingly obvious in hindsight. Before I get the hopes of Google fans too high, let’s be clear that we don’t know if this is just an experiment or a serious effort to bring Chrome OS to Windows 8.
