I don’t think Microsoft has to worry about Chrome OS, just like Google doesn’t have to worry about Bing!. Ubuntu has to worry about Chrome OS and Yahoo! has to worry about Bing!

When XBox came out, MS just wanted to be #2. It knew it was up against the PlayStation and set its sights on Nintendo which was fighting on two fronts – against Sony and Sega.

Similarly, the Zune is there just to make sure that MS has something in that arena. MS isn’t trying to take down Apple because it knows that’s a losing fight.

It’s not about the fight to be #1; it’s about the fight to be #2. It’s smaller players that are threatened when the giants venture into new waters. When MS made the Zune, it didn’t threaten Apple – it threatened Creative.

Besides, MS has experience competing with Google. Last time I checked, Microsoft Office was still the industry standard.

I know its too early to say,but I have many questions like….Will it be easy to use and configure like most Windows? Will it support gaming like WoW?
Will it support plug and play? Will it be easy to use printers and other peripherals?

No offense to Linux users out there, but I found it not the most user friendly.
