Chrome OS
The big surprise of the week, in tech, is the announcement of Google's Chrome OS, which will put the in direct competition with MicroSoft. Makes sense, it's the new logical move. It will run on top of linux. I think the key will be how friendly can they make it, in terms of ease of use and drivers. In the meantime the Windows 7 team has announced it has about 80,000 drivers ready to go for the new OS.
