[...] Microsoft might just be a bit nervous about Chrome OS, which we don’t think is really warranted at this point. Microsoft’s got an outrageously dominant OS marketshare, and seeing as how we know just about nothing about Chrome OS, it’s quite a bit soon to be launching attacks at a product that may well not be a competitor at all.

I hope people do realize that they are essentially rooting against one evil monopoly (Microsoft) and rooting hard for another (Google), when they openly cheer for Google to succeed. And yes, I personally believe that Google is more evil towards the consumers because they invade our privacy. Microsoft on the other hand is evil for all the ways the many people have stated.

@Nick and BFM
There’s nothing idiotic about about seeing the obvious. . .you do actually OWN a PC, right? Have you used other operating systems? I’m coming from a perspective where I’m assuming you’ve used more than just Microsoft products, in making that assumption I didn’t think I had to provide proof of the obvious as I thought we are all rational and intelligent human beings sharing the same reality. UAC is too little too late and years over due, where Macs have had superior capabilities and security for years. . .who here refutes this?! MS Office is the MOST resource intensive application software out there. . . who disagrees with that?!. . .do i need to provide proof. Are you insinuating that Windows ME was a good operating system? Because MS has been trying to sweep that one under the rug for years? Is it my opinion or fact that MS has the tendency to rush products into production after missing at least 3 release dates and not have it ready for public use?! C’mon Guy! There’s nothing made up here this is cold hard fact, its a monopolizing cold hard cash cow more concerned with maintaining a grip on the industry and acquiring more of the industry while forcing any rivals to conform to the standards that THEY create smothering and obliterating any chances for innovation? Thus we become deadlocked with an inescapable standardized system that isn’t PROVEN to be the BEST SYSTEM. That’s not progress. . . .

I personally feel Google develops cool stuffs and no doubt Microsoft is king of competition killing they can get stuff done any ways and any means.
And now being the era of Young entrepreneurs Google has this perception of thinking where from Microsoft leaves it, what can be butter for Google is Bread for Microsoft, but some day Google shall take away bread from Microsoft with any great product like Wave or anything…

It would be easier to give Microsoft the same level of credit as Google, Apple, and Toyota if they actually made good products.

I don’t understand why people keep using the argument that Microsoft did not invent anything as a knock against them. Sometime the first innovator or inventor might not necessarily make the best product.
Google did not invent search engine.
Apple did NOT invent the GUI, the mouse or the MP3 player.
Toyota did not invent the automobile.
I guess we can all make the same argument that since none of these companies really invented anything, thus we should dispise them.

Google are playing the game at a higher level than everybody else.

They pretend to go for the spectrum – everybody chases and the price goes past the public-access price-point, which is what they wanted in the first place. They entered the bidding to lose, and as a result they won the prize they really wanted.

They pretend to go after the browser market, creating little more than a proof-of-concept browser but with x30 Javascript performance and a new OS-like architecture that has a process per-window and per-plugin and is therefore more secure, speedier and more stable, and everybody is running to play catch-up. They have maybe 5% of the market, but they changed the game, and they have the JS performance they need for their apps.

Now they are pretending to make a competitive OS. And they will change our perception of what a web-centric OS should look like: an almost-always-connected OS, with data and apps in the clouds, cached locally for those rare moments of offline operation.

They may end up with only 5% market-share again, but they still win because what they’re after is changing the market in terms of web-centrality, not winning the OS market.

Bottom line: don’t mistake Google releasing a product with Google wanting to take over a market. Often, they are just pushing everybody else in the direction they want the market to go.

No, Microsoft has never been an “innovative” company in the slightest in terms of product development (ways to increase and maintain market share, however….) Their first major product, DOS, started off as just a quick rebranding of an operating system initially called “QDOS,” short for “Quick and Dirty Operating System,” which was leased from an early software company called Seattle Computer. This deal was probably Gates’s singular deal for building Microsoft — IBM was looking for an operating system, Gates didn’t have one, but he knew someone who did…. And QDOS itself was literally a “quick ‘n’ dirty” adaption of an existing 8-bit OS called CP/M to run on 16 bit processors. DOS was a huge cash cow to Microsoft for years since virtually every PC came with it for a while, and they obviously invested little R&D in updating it (hence the primitiveness of its associated programs like edlin.com which dates back to QDOS). From DOS to Zune to Bing, Microsoft pretty much has only leased, bought, copied or stole for its “innovations”.

Funny man..
“I observed that Google’s not in the operating system business, so Chrome OS isn’t expected to be their bread-and-butter”

Hey, Abu-Hadba, Microsoft not in search business, does it mean that Bing isn’t expected to be your bread-and-butter? Do you wish that spending tons of dollars on ads will solve this problem? LOL :)

WHy should he post facts to back up his claim? None of the MS haters here have stated or provided any facts?

Both sides of the camp are spouting unsubstantiated crap. Thats what pisses me off more than anything with the content of these types of threads.
