The ChromeBook

Ø  Google also has a cloud-based "management console" for ChromeBooks which adds the expected enterprise management options, including:
[  Asset tracking
[  Pre-installing Chrome apps
[  Blacklisting & whitelisting of Chrome apps, extensions, and URLs.
[  Group configuration options (so you have different policies for different users and groups)
[  Centralized network configuration (proxies, WiFi, etc.)
[  Enabling, disabling, or pre-configuring all the other Chrome options, like bookmarks, wallpaper, account sync, etc.

Ø  Accessing remote Windows sessions from a ChromeBook is certainly not new. Citrix has their Receiver for HTML5. There are Chrome extensions from Ericom's HTML5 client and Google's own Chrome Remote Desktop. dinCloud also has their WebHVD Chrome extension which connects directly into Windows desktops running on their DaaS platform.
