Chromoting Appears in New Chromium Builds
Posted on 14. Aug, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in News, Tips
A while back it was reported that Chrome OS would feature a remoting system that would allow users to be able to access their favorite native applications that are on traditional operating systems. This would be similar to a remote desktop-type of situation.
Now, it appears as if that will become a reality now that “Chromoting” as a feature has shown up in the most recent Chromium (and Canary) builds.
When you click on the menu option, it leads to a resource called chrome://remotingresources/setup but it does not load right now.
If you want to see Chromoting as an option for yourself, get a new build of the Chromium browser and at the switch “-enable-remoting” to your desktop shortcut.
UPDATE: Changed this post to reflect that you can also do this with Chrome Canary as well.
