Chrome Remote Desktop BETA is the first installment on a capability allowing users to remotely access another computer through the Chrome browser or a Chromebook.
Chrome Remote Desktop BETA is fully cross-platform, so you can connect any two computers that have a Chrome browser, including Windows, Linux, Mac and Chromebooks.
Considering the amount of remote work I do for both professionally and looking after friends/family machines this is going to be one to keep on the watch list for now. If you've tried it already let me know.
