What do you think? Android is on cell phones, tablets, it seems like only a matter of time before its on PCs. I never have issues with Android like I do with Windows, and rather than create brand new versions of Android from the ground up every 2 or 3 years like Windows does, they just make improvements as they go along (which makes a whole lot more sense to me.) And on top of all that, there are now apps that allow some Windows games to be played on Android devices.

So, in my mind...

Windows currently has DosBox to play all the old Dos games because Dos has been abandoned in favor of Windows, so why couldn't Android have a WinBox to play all the current/older Windows games so we can finally abandon Windows?

Don't forget Ouya

But no, not as long as most desktops / laptops run Windows.

God no, developing for Android is a nightmare.

There is a "WinBox", it's called Wine and runs on several Unix-like operating systems for x86 and x86_64 CPUs like OS X, BSD and GNU/Linux, not on Android yet though (besides, most Android devices run on ARM, not x86).

Also, it's far from complete.

Yup. Just installed Warcraft 3 in Wine, and it runs like shit if I turn up the graphics settings. Could probably tweak it for better performance, but I really can't be bothered.

Chrome OS runs on x86 hardware, and how much of a difference is it from android? I've heard rumors that the two would be merging in the future.

Android is just a hacked up version of Linux, Chrome is a suped up version of Android; while it is possible that Google eventually will disfigure Android into something that completely breaks from Linux, it is more likely that Android will just catch up to Linux as mobile hardware improves.

In the end we will be walking around with phones that are running the full Linux desktop and Android will just become another distro.

I doubt ChromeOS and Android has anything in common except being build by the same company and on the same kernel (Linux).

ChromeOS is pretty much just a web browser, and is built primarily for the "cloud" (applications are built in HTML and Javascript, same as any web page, though I hear local and native applications have been possible for a little while now).
Android is a touch-oriented system with front-end code written in Java (many ported applications have a wrapper application in Java that then loads the rest as a native library written in C++ or whatever).

I believe ChromeOS uses X11, the most common graphical system on Unix-likes, while Android uses its own thing entirely (this is a quite important difference, as applications built for one graphical system won't run on another unless the latter has built-in compatibility for the former).

Yeah, no.

Gaming on anything less than 20" with your hands flailing in front of your face is definitely not the future.

Oh god no.
