Google to merge its Chrome OS and Android into a single operating system


Internet giant Google has recently announced that its popular Chrome operating system could soon be withdrawn and replaced with Android.

Google's Chrome OS is widely used desktop/laptop and has received positive remarks from Tech enthusiasts for its ability to keep its user safe from hack attacks. However Chrome users could soon be made to use a version of Android on their desktop/Laptop instead. 

The new Operating System, which is in the works for some years, is anticipated to be ready for a preview by next year, but would be finally launched only in 2017According to Google - the Company planning to "fold its Chrome operating system for personal computers into its Android mobile operating system".

With this recent consideration by Google, several tech security experts have condemned the move saying its a big mistake it the Google finally goes through with it.

The merger would result in PC users getting access to Google Play, which is presently home to millions of apps. Furthermore, Chromebooks - the lightweight and portable laptops that got their name from the Chrome OS - will be renamed. The Chrome browser - both desktop and mobile versions however will not be affected in any way.
