Yes, you read it right! It might have seemed like an impossible task until now but it is close to being a reality. A company named CodeWeavers is now extremely close to a solution that will allow Windows apps to run on Android as well as Chromebooks.
CodeWeavers is developing a product called CrossOver that allows Mac and Linux based systems to run Windows apps without opting for options like dual-boot or virtual machines. CrossOver is based on open source Wine project and is available as a licensed product on both Mac and Linux.
The team is working on an Android version for CrossOver. As recently Chromebooks got the Android app support, the developers can now use the Android version to run Windows apps on Chrome OS machines as well.
