Google Chrome: Redefining the Operating System

who is most likely to win with google's entry into operating systems is vmware (i.e. EMC). yet another operating system i can chose to run on my mac or pc if i wish.

Google Chrome: Redefining the Operating System

i have to concur. i've been through the whole linux revolution from start to now. all the same things were said about linux, freebsd & now mac osx. "oh, these are different...and they're free...microsoft will be extinct by Y2K!!!!", the rants went. we'll these other OSes have put a dent into some of MS market share, but not by stealing it. they ultimately grew the whole pie so to speak. microsoft & bill gates were cast as the evil borg of assimilation. so what if they don't innovate. they've lasted this long in the OS world as is very battle ready. don't under estimate the MS borg. but wait, do we have another borg to contend with? that would be, beware of the google borg.
