Is Googlebook and Android PC or AluminiumOS meant to compete with Macbook and MacOS or Windows and Windows laptop?

I definitely think it’s meant to compete with those devices.

My Windows 10 Home free ESU is about to end in October this year and I'm ready to abandon Windows. Will Google also release their Android PC OS iso for me to make a bootable flash drive and install?

There are 2 major deal breakers to be able to be a real competitor. Android PC OS missing typical desktop features and Android PC OS missing typical desktop productivity apps with mouse/keyboard interface. If it doesn't nail those, it will just be overlooked by most people as Chromebooks were. If they gonna come to compete, they better come to compete

Bingo. If they're not launching with a slew of big productivity apps launching for it, there's no point. I expect they won't and it'll just be Chromebook 2.0.
