That's right. Something to do with the different type of firmware used in the Chromebooks you couldn't install Windows on them. XFCE on ChromeOS is as close as you'll get.
I don't care about Windows but Chrome OS is based on Gentoo so why the hell can't I just install some other Linux distro like I do on any other computer? It annoys me that it is coming to the end of 2013 and I still can't get the kind of laptop I want running Linux. The closest I can get is the Dell XPS 13 DE but I don't want to run Ubuntu and people I know with them have found getting other distros to work well a pain in the ass. I don't know if things are any better now as I know Dell was trying to improve things for other distros by making drivers more available outside of Ubuntu.
