I can see them wanting to have some say in hardware so people are getting the best out-of-the-box experience when purchasing from a vendor.

But I agree… it’s open sourced now, in the wild, and it’s only a matter of time before the community starts to transform the OS into something much more versatile.

In the presentation, they stated that starting off they were going to have very specific hardware requirements from their suppliers so the kernel would be optimized for speed. Based on this, it may not work as well for non-Google-certified machines.

However, it is open source so you certainly could hack together a kernel for your particular machine.

Personally, I would say for the near and maybe mid-range future, something like Ubuntu or Xubuntu is going to be your best bet for breathing life into an old machine.
