Already, folks who have never seen it, used it or spent five minutes with it are claiming it&#8217;s huge threat to Windows. (Oddly, if that&#8217;s the case, wouldn&#8217;t it also be a threat to Apple and Mac OS, an argument I&#8217;ve not seen but perhaps that&#8217;s another story).</p> <p><img src="http://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/chrome-netbook3-480x237.jpg" alt="chrome netbook3 480x237" title="chrome-netbook3" width="480" height="237" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-48946" /></p> <p>While it&#8217;s early to be dismissive, this is far from a slam-dunk success. It feels more like another way Google is attempting to provoke Microsoft. Something, which Google seems to like to do with increased regularity. (Actually, it feels like Google likes to give Microsoft a smack on the side of the head with a sharp stick form time to time).</p> </blockquote> <p><br/><a href="http://www.slashgear.com/chrome-os-is-sound-and-fury-signifying-nothing-0848825/">Chrome OS is sound and fury signifying nothing</a></p>
