Google will reportedly merge Android and Chrome OS

Will Android to compete with Windows? Google apparently is working to bring its operating system on PCs. It should therefore replace the current system Chrome OS as a Windows alternative and could help the seller. Microsoft attack in its core business.

Microsoft leads the way with Windows 10: A single operating system will in future unite all platforms and devices, regardless of whether it is a PC, a tablet, a smartphone or even a gaming console like the Xbox One. But apparently the Redmond company with this concept are not alone. Google apparently is working to merge its mobile operating system Android with the laptop system Chrome OS, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Come Android to the PC?
Since about two years developers would therefore work at Google because to merge the two operating systems. In effect, this approach is probably tantamount that Android takes over the functions of Chrome OS on a laptop and could also be used as the operating system for such devices in question in future. Also natively developed for Android Apps could then run on such computers - of course, they would need for a customized control and display.

The major competitor for Windows
The plan is apparently to complete the merger of the two operating systems to 2017th A preview but Google could show as early as next year at its developer conference I / O. Should the Group actually implement the plans successfully, nor the major competitor for Windows could be from Android eventually. Theoretically, it would be then that even conceivable that both operating systems run on the same computers. The Linux architecture of Android at least should not impede the. On the contrary, through a greater use of Linux systems in the PC sector, the platform could be used as such to know more interest by developers.

Confident user of Chrome OS still have to do without their operating system apparently. In parallel with the adaptation of Android on desktop surfaces is also the previous OS continue to get support from Google and retained as an open source operating system. The device class of Chromebooks could, however, get a new name.
