Intelligent move on the part of Chrome OS.
All I can say is...
There has always been a long history of either corrupting a good thing or abandoning it ...I have noticed ...
They better not screw it up...
Or all those converts who would use Chrome OS for this new-found ability...
Will walk away from the OS as easily as they may embrace and accept it now...

Hahaha ...
Kinggo has it right...
...it appears to be all about not pleasing some of the people some of the time...or even trying to please some of the people all of the time...anymore...
Now...there is the attempt to have ones cake and yet eat it too...
Rack up more reasons to get onboard with whomever...
They are attempting to please all the people all the time...
That scenario always seems to just end up ugly in the end....whatever the situation...
Yeesh!
Wouldn't want to be in those forums when one side doesn't get the updates or functionality the other side gets...
It'll be like kids that don't get the exact same toy for Christmas...
It'll be like a bag of exploding cats...
Possibly worse ...
On the scale of a catnami...
Or a catnado ...

Chrome OS will now be able to run Linux Applications. The apps will be run in a VM or container of sorts, apparently the performance is very good and there is very little performance penalty. This makes Chrome OS infinitely more useful. Being able to have true offline music player, gimp or development tools or many other applications makes Chrome OS more useful. The feature will also be available for for Arm based devices. Given that Chrome OS can on tablets, this could provide us with a perfect OS for Linux based tablets. Of course this could also help desktop linux. Unlike other Linux distros Chrome os is much more polished and easier to use and it is preinstalled on much more hardware than other Linux distros.
