It looks like Google bought out Cloud Ready.

It's still in beta but I've had no issues running it on a Gigabyte mini PC...

Definitely a good option if you need to make use out of an older laptop, or for schools that can't afford to buy new chromebooks but have a shite ton of those old Dell Inspiron laptops still running Windows 7.

Wish they offered a way to use this on Chromebooks that are past the auto update life span
