Along those lines, Chromebooks are not natively compatible with Windows or Mac software. Businesses can use VMware on Chromebooks to run Windows applications but that's not an easy option for most Chromebook owners. However, there is support for Linux software, plus current models can run Android apps and there are also web apps that are available through Google's Chrome Web Store. Also, if you're considering a Chromebook as a secondary device, it's possible to use Windows or Mac software on a Chromebook by using Chrome's Remote Desktop feature and it actually works really well!
