Who knew? Android doesn't play nicely with a 2nd display. However investigation continues. Some say the internal display should be turned off, before the outside screen will go. Watch this space. Meanwhile some may like to read an interview with English as not the primary language featuring Chih-Wei Huang, main man of Android-x86. Snip > Why Android-x86? Runs on PC(x86). Original Android runs on ARM. Android - Teoreticaly could run on every present and future device, PS4 and Xbox one included (in pure theory). Is everytime better develop for only one OS (even with some platform differences), that for bunch of them. Mac OS or iOS are too closed and fixed on Apple device and its unlikely to change it. Linux market is realy fragmented and its development is relatively slow. Android - is without doubt OS with faster development speed and it counts. Android is open and free. Today, when i can buy good living room pc for 200$ i realy dont wan to pay next 100 bucks to Microsoft for crippled OEM licence, or 200$ for retail (HW independed licence) .... > How many of users know you think that tried Android-x86, at least through live distro and how many installed it into physical computer? Do you have some stats about usage? I don't have the stats and I don't really care about that. Just checked. The 4.4-RC1 release has 584,441 downloads and the 4.3-test release has 1,365,182 downloads.

Are you in contact with Google? Do you know why Google isn't developing Android-x86 for desktops itself? Is affair of Microsoft or something else? ChromeOS looks like duplicity. I have no official contact window of Google. But I have many friends in Google including the android team. I'll also contact Google android engineers directly for issues clarification or patches submission. I don't know Google's plan. But as you said, ChromeOS is probably the right one for its desktop roadmap. This is a common guess. < stop snipping
