Microsoft hands the victory to Chrome OS Jul 9, 2009, 20 :33 UTC (11 Talkback[s]) (5205 reads) (Other stories by Charlie Demerjian)
"Today marks the knee of the great curve of Microsoft's decline, it is downhill fast from here. The inflection point went almost unnoticed in 2003, but this time it is obvious to even the most myopic observer. The garbage scow named SS MS was just holed, and it's listing badly.
"Most problematic for Microsoft is that it really doesn't matter at all what Google puts out in the so called Chrome OS. It probably won't be very good at release, and if Android is any guide, it will be a barely usable, unstable pile of loosely cobbled together code. Then again, that is more than enough. Why? Simply because it isn't MS.
"Microsoft has a few huge problems brought on by their own actions, or in this case, inactions. They include a bloated slow OS, selling out the user to third parties via DRM, forced malware, inability to use the OS without blatant MS data theft, an MS kill switch to your critical infrastructure, not even attempting to secure the OS, and most damning, a lack of user trust."
