The link in the bottom of your first article was very helpful, and seems to confirm ChromeOS and Android would be the likely targets.

Thanks. Yeah, they really could not be more transparent about that. Most of the bring-up is on mobile + PC silicon as well.

There's no need to kill Chrome OS for the education, mind.

Looked at it again, and it could be an old comment about magenta, and maybe not applicable to fuchsia?

Well, the OS is most strictly the kernel, right? It's honestly all together. It's an SMP system that you can already run on normal ARM and x86 devices.

The team has stated that everything in the kernel is true, and that there's quite a lot there to infer from. What they can't say publicly is the how and why, e.g. how would they hypothetically implement backwards compatibility with Android apps?
