Google Chrome OS: Should Microsoft be afraid?

Recently, Google announced that a Chrome Operating System is the works to be released sometime next year. According to Google, ” Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds.” In other words, users can expect to see an initial launch of the OS for the Netbook market. I’m loving this news since it will create some healthy competition with Microsoft’s Windows OS. Yes, Microsoft should be very afraid.
