My, oh my, we sure have come a long way in these Google-scented quarters of ours.
‘Twas not so long ago, after all, when everyone and their granpappy was completely convinced that Google had to be working on combining its two primary platforms — y’know, those silly li’l things we like to call Chrome OS and Android.
For years, we heard endless declarations about how Chrome OS was a dead man walking and how Android would somehow swallow it up to form a magically merged new mega-operating-system (mmm…tastes Chromey). The reality, of course, was much more nuanced: Google’s kept both Chrome OS and Android around and simply worked little by little to align the two entities and make ’em more complementary, consistent, and connected. (Huh. Who woulda thunk?!)
