[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Chrome OS in consortia?

Hello.  This isn't really Evergreen related but we are evaluating Chrome 
OS (Chrome books/boxes) as an alternative option to offer to our 
libraries due to the issues Microsoft has created in Windows 10 (mostly 
surrounding the mandatory feature updates).

Does anyone have experience deploying Chrome OS in a consortium or large 
library system?

If so, what issues have you run into?

If we decide to move forward with a Chrome OS option we would likely be 
recommending it only for patron facing machines.  We assume Chrome OS 
probably wouldn't be a good fit for staff machines.

Thank you!
