This hadn’t crossed my mind, but yes Google is thinking exactly the same thing as Apple.
A little like my previous blog… you don’t often go wrong putting your chips on Google either. My suspicion is in the end Google is the new Microsoft and will have the bulk of the market, Apple will continue to grow its profits with a smaller market share.
The only thing is, Chrome OS is a country mile away from where it should be right now. However, things change quickly in this industry and few are more agile than Google.
