Chromebook Application Wrapper mentioned in AC Podcast

[daytondroid]

Jerry,

In Android Central episode 355 - Pixel Central, you mentioned there was a wrapper or wrapper framework that could be installed on Chrome OS to allow a user to install applications on it. I assume this is not Google Play Store apps and also not the Crouton framework to install a second Linux based OS under developer mode and chroot.

I was curious if you could point me to a page that discusses this wrapper.

Thanks,
Dayton

Second me for reading more about running Crouton in a browser.

I did find these links, though, which might tide us both over til JH or some other ChromeOS veteran can weigh in with more:

I heard this too and was very interested but have yet to hear more. Jerry, can you please better explain what you were talking about in the podcast? How can we run full up windows/mac programs? I understand linux ones, but I think the one you mentioned was not available for linux.
