This sounds great, a lot of applications are already a better experience on my phone than my desktop in many ways. The notification system and DPI scaling on Android would be killer features for me in a desktop platform. And that's not to mention the number of games and other little trinket apps that are just better than web clients for banking and such.
I just hope they can find a good way to do multitasking - that's really the only feature I think is really needed to get Android usable on desktop and laptop hardware.
If the Console OS guys can't deliver then I hope this money will be made available to volunteers willing to implement these features. Some of this is stuff I'd already like to have - getting paid a bit for it would be a nice bonus. I'm sure other devs think similarly.
The only thing they have after a kickstarter where they called android-x86 and other such projects garbage and inefficient is... a fork of android-x86, where the only change is the removal of copyrights, names, and a find-replace of androidx86 -> consoleos.
