Until this week, the answer to whether the upcoming Chrome OS could run Windows apps was "no." Which was a bummer for many people. You see, the Chrome OS is completely in "the cloud," so all of the apps had to be accessed through the Chrome Web browser, and installed and "saved" to the Chrome OS.

Fortunately for us, this week, Google software engineers have announced, a feature, "Chromoting", that will give users a chance to access "legacy PC applications" through a remote desktop connection process.

Says the engineer: "We're adding new capabilities all the time. With this functionality (unofficially named "chromoting"), Chrome OS will not only be great platform for running modern web apps, but will also enable you to access legacy PC applications right within the browser. We'll have more details to share on chromoting in the coming month."

While that leaves details on Chromoting scant, most believe that the process will be a sharing function that will require a home/office PC to be kept on, while the Chrome OS computer uses remote access.

Stay tuned....
