“You will not be able to actually run applications, you will
just use a remote desktop connection sort of thing, to connect to
your WindowsLinuxMacintosh computer and use it remotely. The data
will stay on the remote computer, not on the Chrome OS
computer.

“Semantics, but still. Native Client will not allow you to run a
regular application, I believe. It will still be sandboxed, so
there are a lot of limitations.

“After reading this post by Gary Kamark (a Google engineer), it
sounds like you will be able to remote into your desktop computer
to run the applications you need. Smart move.”
