Hello All,
I was given a used Chrome Book, it's basically a mini laptop, very light and small. A quick search says windows applications will run on it. I was hoping to be able to run the MTH DCS software on it. It would be more convenient when helping people out at their houses. Has anyone tried this?

Brian,
As far as I know Chromebooks will not run Windows applications. They run ChromeOS and not Windows for a good reason (they boot faster, they're more efficient given the limits battery power, etc). As a result only run the Chrome browser and related Chrome applications, which are online only, e.g. word processor ("docs") or spreadsheet ("sheets") or email ("gmail") run in a Chrome browser window.
Unfortunately I think you're out of luck.

Most Chromebooks will not run Windows, however there are work-arounds.

Thanks for the information on Cameyo--been thinking of going to Linux but still would need one or two Windows programs and that looks like it would do the job.

WTIU will be out soon, we shall see how compatible it is?
Not knowing anything about it, but can you run Android apps on a Chromebook? Is there an Android version of the DCS App?
Yes Frank there is an Android version of the DCS app. As for running it on a Chrome book, that might be a little tricky but not impossible.
All you should need is Android. I run the DCS app with my android phone. I just loaded the app through the Playstore. I don't have Windows on it.

Sorry I just realized you guys were not talking about the app.
