Google revealed the new partnership in a blog post looking at the future of Chrome OS for enterprises. <\/p>\n<p>While Chrome OS has long supported Windows desktop apps that are streamed via the cloud through a Parallels Remote Application Server, this new partnership means the apps will run virtualized on Chromebooks instead. The new feature is set to be available this fall for Chrome Enterprise customers. <\/p>\n<p>Parallels Desktop will be integrated natively into Chrome OS, improving performance and enabling offline access for these applications on Chromebooks. Its a surprising, but welcome move that will mean Chrome OS will be able to support both Android apps and Windows apps in the future.<\/p>\n<p>It will also likely entice businesses to seriously consider Chromebooks as Windows laptop alternatives for certain employees, without having to invest in solutions to stream business apps to a Chromebook.<\/p>\n<p>Google isnt providing many details about the Parallels partnership just yet, but the company promises more to come on this over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Update June 16th, 4:00pm: Added additional details, including the planned fall release window. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See the original post: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/6\/16\/21293180\/google-chrome-os-microsoft-office-windows-desktop-apps-support-parallels\" title=\"Google is bringing Microsoft Office and other Windows apps to Chromebooks - The Verge\">Google is bringing Microsoft Office and other Windows apps to Chromebooks - The Verge<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Google is partnering with Parallels to bring native Microsoft Office applications and other legacy enterprise Windows applications to Chromebooks.
