ChromeOS isn't going anywhere
Perhaps the most reassuring part of the interview is the clarification on the fate of Chrome OS. With Aluminium OS stepping into the spotlight, many assumed traditional Chromebooks were on the chopping block.
Samat made it very clear that this is not the case. “Development for Chrome OS will absolutely continue as is,” he stated, praising its unmatched management capabilities. We’ve stated as much here at Chrome Unboxed, too.
Instead of replacing Chrome OS, Google is adopting a dual-OS strategy. Chrome OS will remain the undisputed king of the education sector and enterprise deployments where simplicity and security are paramount. Meanwhile, Aluminium OS will serve as Google’s premium consumer offering—a platform that blends the vast Android app ecosystem, deep phone integration, and cutting-edge AI features into flagship hardware. And now, it seems we only have a few more months to wait.
Well, previously it was reported that ChromeOS would be phased out within the next decade, so I'm not sure what to make of this. Anyway, the full article can be found here:
