Isn't that (with the exception of "Android") what Chromebooks are?

Actually, I wonder how much effort it would take to get Android userland running on top of ChromeOS. Naively, you could just write a JVM-equivalent for Dalvik (providing the same runtime services to native code.) Or you could just apply a static transformation to the Dalvik executable to turn native syscalls into calls to PPAPI, and call the result an NaCl binary.

Can be done, but a expensive project for sure..

I think the whole thing are pretty messed up..

We shouldnt be choosing between freedom to run whatever we want in our own machines against the convenience of a fat application layer and the apps that are more easilly found in iOS and Android..

We should have both worlds in only one platform.. thats what the industry are having a hard time to figure it out..

I hope when my project are launched, i can make my point more clearly by using a practical implementation to address some really bad scenarios for user and developer freedom. that are coming ahead
