Parallels is known for making it easy to run Windows applications on Mac computers. Now the company has partnered with Google to bring Windows apps to another major platform: Chrome OS. Or at least, the enterprise version of Chrome OS.
Parallels he says that Google's partnership will allow you to run "full-featured Windows applications, including Microsoft Office” on Chromebook Enterprise devices. Parallels also emphasizes that its software will enable collaboration remote work with Windows applications regardless.
The press release doesn't go into much detail, but it's obviously aimed at businesses who have chosen to use Chrome OS but also have access to Windows.
While I'd be concerned about performance, since Chromebooks already tend to be low-power devices without some virtualization plug-in, the ability to run Windows-only apps on Chromebooks could be a lifesaver, especially with those working from home these days without access to their work devices.
To mention that from old there were rumors who wanted Google to allow Windows applications. Parallels is probably the best solution that could exist due to the experience and reliability of the company. The results will appear in Chrome OS "in the coming months".
