Microsoft Isn't Too Concerned About Google Chrome OS, Says Ballmer

From DailyTech: Who thinks Google's new Chrome operating system could shake up the PC market? Apparently, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer doesn’t see it happening. The often outspoken and controversial Mr. Ballmer had a crowd at Microsoft's Worldwide Partners Conference (WWPC) in New Orleans rolling when he shared his thoughts on the new Linux-based OS.

He waxed, "I will be respectful... Who knows what this thing is? To me, the Chrome OS thing is highly interesting. It won't happen for a year and a half and they already announced an operating system (Android OS)."

Mr. Ballmer did poke a bit of fun at Google for developing to separate consumer OS's -- Android and Chrome. He stated, "I don't know if they can't make up their mind or what the problem is over there, but the last time I checked, you don't need two client operating systems. It's good to have one."
