PC Plus Android: Microsoft to face computer makers' rebellion at CES

The PC Plus project, however, is aimed at personal computers, most likely traditional “clamshell” notebooks, not tablets. And it doesn’t rely on BlueStacks’ technology, even though Intel invested in the Palo Alto, Calif. company in March. “This is very different from BlueStacks,” Moorhead said.

These machines will be able to switch nearly instantly between the two operating systems, according to Computerworld, either booting both interfaces at the same time or running tablet apps meant for Android within a window, explained Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy.
'PC Plus' Machines Being Prepped For CES To Run Android On Windows In Retaliation Against MSFT

For one thing, it’s a tacit indictment by OEMs of the latest mobile Windows operating system, and in particular its lack of apps. The Windows app store is growing, to be sure, but--and this is a contested point even among some of us at HH--it’s still not up to snuff when you compare it to the number of available Android and iOS apps.
An interesting development, though probably more backlash against Win8.x than anything else. Will PC Plus ever see the light of day in actual consumer products? Could be useful to Android developers if nothing else.

And then we have players who have established moves such as:

Acer Turns to Android for Latest All-in-One Desktop Solution

One thing working in Android's favor is that nearly everyone is familiar with its interface. Nearly 80 percent of the world's smartphones run Android, so navigating an all-in-one with Android should be old hat for most people.

The DA241HL will offer complete access to the Google Play Store. It will support up to five different profiles, each of which can have their own custom settings and applications installed. Other features include the ability to connect to any PC with Windows 8 via HDMI and/or USB port, and a tilt angle of 20 to 75 degrees for a "comfortable touch experience."
Acer and others have these sort of products out for purchase already. Could be an upgrade path to the future for those who already have Windows machines. Just swap out your monitor for such an all-in-one/monitor combo and you are on your way. I could live without the touchscreen if it got a 90 degree upright mount instead of the 75 degree "laid back for touch" of Acer's current 21 and 24 inch products.

I wouldn't buy yet though, more powerful hardware to support Android on large screens is already available. We'll probably see new models this year taking advantage of that.
