meh, im sure he doesn't care + he had a point about linux.

+ even if Google's OS becomes successful, the time it takes for google OS to "overtake" microsoft OS would be when Bill Gates is already very old or dead IMO.

People are going to be very skeptical regardless when Chrome OS comes out. Many people already don't like Chrome because of it's supposed tracking, so what makes Chrome OS any different? With Microsoft Windows already controlling somewhere around 90% of the market, it's not like Chrome OS will instantly come in and take over if it becomes a successful project. It'll take lots of time, and in that time, Microsoft can improve it's current OS as well. Judging from the reception of people using Windows 7, it seems Microsoft is on the right track.

Chrome has the potential to be a huge invasion of privacy. nothing is free in life.
