It will work under Google Chrome (not Chromium) on Linux most likely, as Google is a DRM vendor.

AFAIK ChromeOS supports Widevine EME and Chrome does not. Why is it enabled on one platform and not the other? Make of that what you will.

Because they haven't got it locked down enough yet, presumably.

Chrome on Android doesn't support it either, yet, but http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=275989 is targeted for Chrome 32...

And Google will presumably have a Linux CDM for Chrome OS, so they could release it for Linux desktop, too.

But it doesn't matter. Google could release their CDM for any operating system they choose; it doesn't alter the fact that EME and CDM are inimical to the Open Web and should be rejected by the W3C.
