Android ni laptop or notebook ki extend cheakunda ..chromium os ni diff project la enduku chestunnaru .. also there is a handshake b/w android apps and chrome os ... future lo merge chestara .. leka is google planning any thing big

Chrome OS is very stripped version uncle...it will have web browser, media player and file manager ante where as Android is full blown mobile operating system...

thats understood uncle .. but android can be pretty much extended to any screen (check google formfactor) .. 2008 lo google said it will make browser the OS but they did not make big in PCs .. instead Sundar focussed on Android since its a mobile driven world .. but google still develops chrome OS as a major project .. Whyyyyyy

One thing Uncle....any Mobile OS design will be different from typical operating system...they both run on different environments....Does Mobile has same computing power/resources as typical Desktop/Laptop....anduke they customize the Memory management and scheduling functionality as per that....in fact rendu chromium os and android are developed from linux kernel....so base os code is same....

adi ok uncle .. chrome os is a light weight os that is in Mbs where as regular OSs (xp mac) are in gbs , so this will reduce the boot time significantly ... but look at android .. you can extend it to any machine any screen .. if you have android auto , mobile, tv , watch why not a laptop???

Yeah...we can use android in laptop kani it was solely designed for embedded devices nuvvu mention chesinattu.....main difference is computing power of mobile/embedded devices and laptop/desktop...so mobile os will be designed as per that....see the below answer from SO for diff b/w mobile os and desktop os....

 

 

The gaps between the two are getting smaller and smaller - witness the introduction of multicore processors to the mobile environment with phones such as the Galaxy S II. By having such "high"-powered hardware available, it is necessary for the OS to provide features once considered the domain of supercomputers, such as parallel processing and synchronization.

In theory, Android being a Linux distribution should be able to scale up to the full feature set of the desktop computer. As for not having to support the same variety of hardware, that is definitely open to contention - consider the device fragmentation (and OS fragmentation for that matter) that makes it so difficult to write apps for Android that will function on many phones. If you want to write an app that is accessible across many device architectures this requires targetting a much older release of Android than the latest version available on newer phones.

From an operating systems perspective this is much reduced on the iOS architecture where Apple applies a consistent upgrade policy and the devices themselves are guarranteed to have certain hardware configurations - something that cannot be said for Android.

The way OS development for phones is going (towards bridging the gap between mobile and desktop), the differences between the OSs become less significant.

Of course, the major difference would be the processor that is targetted. Linux/Windows work find on x86 and 64, but Android functions soley on ARM (although there is a project to port it to x86).

makes sense but  future might be interesting !
