No matter when convergence became a ‘thing’ there is some validity that it is the future. Others would argue that it was Steve Jobs that first demonstrated convergence when he brought the Apple Newton into world in 1993. Wired Magazine has been touting convergence since before 2013. I’m hardly alone in my beliefs about convergence. AND… I think that running Windows applications on a Chromebook is the first step in this new technology revolution. You can feel that the planets are going to align in this way. The portability and functionality of Android / Chrome combined with the consistency and security of Linux combined with the library of Windows applications (and Chrome applications and Android applications). This would be mind blowing for so many reasons. You can use a single device that supports all of these types of applications. No longer will you have to choose between Windows or Linux or web based or Android. If the computer was the first revolution the Internet the second revolution then I believe STRONGLY that the next revolution will be an evolution in devices that can support multi-platform applications. > Read My Last Blog Post about Android: What Lies Ahead for CrossOver Android BUT… CrossOver Android is showing considerable promise and steady improvement in a very short timeframe. There are still many, many, many bugs to polish out of the code. And while its still very, very, very new, I’m impressed. And if I am being honest, IT RUNS REALLY WELL!!!! Our developers have spent hour, upon hour, upon hour building a software for this platform. But after several months of development, I am writing this blog using the Windows version of Microsoft Office 2013 on an ASUS Flip Chromebook. It’s been a few months since I touted the technology and potential of the offering. It’s been a few months since I wrote a blog about CrossOver Android. Or maybe, it’s just realizing the potential derived in that moment. Maybe, it’s the ability to look back and confirm how far you have come in a relatively short time. There is something to be said for progress.
