Chrome OS's success is bad news for Microsoft's position

For now, Chrome OS's success seems limited and fairly US-centric. If it remains that way, then the knock-on effects in both consumer and enterprise spaces should be reduced. Nonetheless, this kind of development isn't just bad news for Microsoft's position in the consumer market; it's bad news across Microsoft's entire business.

As long as Chrome-41 remains at the top, M$ has big problem$.
(Chrome-41 = 9.5 million... IE8,9,11 combined = 5.4 million)

Not-for-Nothing but all browsers sink as the result.
