Link: Google acquires Cameyo to integrate Windows app virtualization into ChromeOS - The Verge

Cameyo’s Virtual App Delivery (VAD) integration into ChromeOS is designed for businesses that are looking to move away from Windows or even add some ChromeOS devices into the mix. It allows businesses to continue running virtualized Windows apps on ChromeOS without exposing a full version of Windows so that apps just feel like they’re running on ChromeOS side by side with Chrome and other web apps. Google has been on a mission to push Chromebooks in education and business after a rather lukewarm response from consumers to ChromeOS. Most of Google’s Chromebook growth has come from the US education sector, with US shipments accounting for more than 80 percent of global Chromebook shipments in Q2 2023, according to Canalys. #
