Google Chrome and Nexus S Twin Daggers at Microsoft's Heart?

Rich Jaroslovsky at Bloomberg argues that Google is less a threat to Apple than to Microsoft. It's Chrome OS and Nexus S smart phone are 'twin daggers at Microsoft's heart'.


He writes "On the surface, neither seems particularly menacing.... Still, the two devices represent an enormous threat to Microsoft and its chief executive officer, Steve Ballmer. The success of Android is rapidly foreclosing Microsoft’s growth prospects as more computing is done on mobile devices. Meanwhile, Chrome OS takes dead aim at its great twin cash cows: the Windows and Microsoft Office franchises" . Google's great competitive advantage:  "Google offers Android to manufacturers at a price that Microsoft can’t beat: free."
