Google just purchased Cloudready.

Google has purchased cloudready. Does this mean we can now download and install full ChromeOS on our old gear?

I have an old HP Elitebook around here somewhere that would be fun to install ChromeOS on and play around with.

Google will now let schools install ChromeOS on their old Windows machines - MSPoweruser

 

I doubt they are going to release the official ChromeOS to be installed on non "chrome" devices.
I hope they didn't buy cloudready just to kill it off.

 

Supposedly, they bought it for education useage. Meaning everyone cannot afford a new chromebook for school, so you can load Chrome onto older devices. that's what I read from that.
