      Chromos will definitely be big, but its limitations mean that it won’t definitely not be able to just take it over.

      And given that it relies on Linux apps to run non Android or web apps, AKA desktop apps, I’m quite happy if it grows—Linux development becomes encouraged.

      The future as in this will dominate some day or as in this will be the best some day? Cause only one seems reasonable to me.

        Chrome OS has a simplified desktop experience. I think people who don’t do technical work and that grew up with Chrome OS will continue to use Chrome OS

          Yeah I kinda doubt it too. However there’s a real possibility for them to eventually replace it with Android, once they get the desktop mode finished up. Especially given how they’ve started caring about costs lately, maintaining two OSes with a lot of overlap might trigger some axing.
