'This means you can work with Chromebooks and connect to a Windows experience running VMWare Horizon View. It is being expected that Google might use this particular feature in order to help users shift from Windows XP, for which Microsoft will end support in less than two months. 'Today at VMware Partner Exchange 2014, VMware announced that it is joining forces with Google to modernize corporate desktops for the Mobile Cloud Era by providing businesses with secure, cloud access to Windows applications, data and Desktops on Google Chromebooks,' stated the official VMware press release page. The access to Windows OS is possible through virtualisation software dubbed VMware Horizon DaaS (Desktop as a Service) paired with VMware's Blast HTML5 technology, which will help users manage their Windows desktop, data and other applications through their Chromebooks and Chrome OS machines. Google has announced its partnership with VMWare, a US firm which is known to offer cloud software and virtualisation services, to help users access Windows through Chrome OS.
