How can Ballmer of MSFT laugh the threat of Chrome OS off and dismiss it? How can he be so sure? Inside Info, or pure stupidity? I see Chrome to be a direct competitor to Microsoft Windows and to a certain point Apple’s OS-X. If this a logical deduction, then how could Ballmer laugh the threat off? Makes no sense to me. What is sad to me, if the fact that Linux could be a true target of Chrome OS, especially if Chrome would run well older hardware.
