Today's Android. Android with ChromeOS folded into it could look just like ChromeOS, except with the ability to install/run Android apps natively.

It could also look just like Android, but with the ability to install/run Chrome Apps.

It could even be configured to look, by default, like existing ChromeOS on desktop platforms and like existing Android and handheld platforms.

Well sure. Android will need to be a good car, TV, and whatnot os. Why not desktops? But that's what Microsoft broke their pick on. Windows 8 Was suckey on all form factors. Easy to get this wrong.
