Google Chrome: Redefining The Operating System
Inertia is on Microsoft's side. The people who pay them money will be reluctant to move to an online-only world for all their apps. The trick for MS will be to manage their revenue streams during the transition to a 'fully' online world. It's clear that Google wants to penetrate the enterprise marketplace for its Apps and this new OS aims for it, but that process will not go quickly.
I'l bet my dollar to your donut that MS has their own version of an OS that is geared to online browser-based use of hardware. They'll introduce it when the timing is right. Meanwhile, Windows 7 will launch this fall. My guess: Google's OS announcement is timed to interfere with the uptake of Windows 7, reportedly a very solid OS, due for release this fall, a resort to the old IBM FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) approach.
