    Remember, CloudReady? The project that helps users in installing Chrome OS on Windows and Mac PCs. Now, Google has take over this project and released Chrome OS Flex (a.k.a CloudReady 2.0). It comes with support for Google services excluding Google Play Store. Apart from this, it also comes with support for Linux.

    As of now, the company is offering Chrome OS Flex for free to Enterprise and Education users, but regular users can also install it on their Windows and Mac PCs. The purpose of releasing Chrome OS Flex is to help users in bringing back their older devices back into the life.

    Now that Google is handling this project, it is highly possible that more interesting features will be added to Chrome OS Flex.
