![]() I have no idea how they are going to do this. Parallels Desktop will be integrated natively into Chrome OS, improving performance and enabling offline access for these applications on Chromebooks” ![]() I used tons of these back in the day, however I phased them out as they were becoming more annoying & difficult to use. I’m sure some companies still work with office document macros, but I think most probably don’t anymore or at least want to move away from it. My guess is biggest missing part for the enterprise market is: macros I found libre/open-office inferior to the old versions, but better than the new so I migrated to libre-office and never looked back! It still has some annoying bugs and incompatibilities, but I can cope. Forcing the ribbon without a switch was a stupid strategic mistake on microsoft’s part! I haven’t used microsoft office in such a long time, but word and excel were some of my favorite ms products before the damned ribbon. Granted I don’t touch Office documents often. The online web-based office might have less featured, but I didn’t found them to be more buggy. Really ? The few times I had to deal with office documents, especially if they were from older versions I noticed something wasn’t quiet right in LibreOffice and I thought, OK, maybe I should open it in regular Microsoft Office just to make sure and see what it’s supposed to look like and it was actually worse. This is an interesting move, and I hope it will become available to regular, non-enterprise consumers, too. It’s a surprising, but welcome move that will mean Chrome OS will be able to support both Android apps and Windows apps in the future. Parallels Desktop will be integrated natively into Chrome OS, improving performance and enabling offline access for these applications on Chromebooks. The new feature is set to be available this fall for Chrome Enterprise customers. While Chrome OS has long supported Windows desktop apps that are streamed via the cloud through a Parallels Remote Application Server, this new partnership means the apps will run virtualized on Chromebooks instead. The Verge has more details on how, exactly, this is going to work, and the gist is that Parallels will be integrated with Chrome OS to allow Microsoft Office to run locally on the device. ![]() More to come on this over the coming months. For example, our new partnership with Parallels brings legacy application support-which includes Microsoft Office desktop apps-to Chromebooks. As a result, the Chrome OS team is working on new ways to make sure every company can benefit from the velocity created by supporting a cloud workforce. We’ve long been saying that almost any business role can be a cloud worker, and COVID-19 has dramatically made this point. Hidden deep in a blog post full of PR speak, Google has announced that it’s bringing Microsoft Office to Chrome OS through a partnership with Parallels.Īt Google, we recognize the modern way of working as being a cloud worker-on a browser and browser-based apps for the vast majority of the work day (you’re reading this in one, right?), untethered because the devices you use are mobile-friendly and cloud-native.
