Likely, it will run Android, an operating system people have become familiar with and is in use on over 60 devices, instead of Chrome OS, an operating system designed for netbooks and more traditional PC’s instead of phone-like devices.

There are many great articles discussing the benefits of Android vs. Chrome OS. The choice made for the HTC tablet will be an indicator of what operating system Google will promote for tablet computing in the future.

As you can see, there’s little consensus about whether Android should replace Chrome OS on tablet PCs, or whether Chrome OS will work for tablets at all.
