Hah, technically speaking, they are ALL virtualization with a pure SaaS solution and the chrome RDP plugin. But what I mean is he will probably not use one for work! (It actually also has an SSH client so if you use vi or emacs, it's not even a bad shout for developers).

can you run virtual images on Chromebooks or not ? that's the quesiton. If i can run a linux image ,fine, if not ,this is not for development purpose. Nobody (serious) directly commits code on the server through a ssh session. But if i coudl run something like virtual box on a Cbook , i would by one.

there is a developer mode that you can use to run custom firmware so you could really put any linux distro you care to cross compile on the box.

A market-sector he pitches heavily 3/5 of the way through.

Whilst in the same breath implying that "the experience the end user is used to" is a good one - which is probably not true!
