Microsoft screwed? What'chu talkin' 'bout Willis? I doubt MS is going to sit idly by while this OS comes out. Plus, Windows 7 has got people talking, and has been well advertised, and publicized, so I think it'll be Google who'll be having the hard time here for one key reason...

Linux.

It may be great for those of you who know how to use computers, but for everyone else, it'll be way too unfamiliar, and a lot of people don't like extra complications on a device they're already scared of. Most people are still terrified to change their RAM for Chrissake, and they're going to adopt a new OS just on the premise that it's made by Google? If Linux marketshare on netbooks is a sign, Google OS may be a novelty at first, but I think it will tank.

Plus, for what it's worth, Google's track record isn't so awesome, what with their YouTube acquisition, 'Lively,' 'Google Shared Stuff,' among others. Also, I wonder if Google will use its ad service within the browser, or have it turned on by default; I wouldn't put it past them, especially with some of the weird stuff they did with Chrome.

The only game where everyone competes to be an e-janitor.
