You betcha. OK, I’m just kidding — but in most markets that are divided like the PC market, where one vendor has 90 percent and the other 10 percent, a well-funded competitor would likely take out the 10 percent vendor on the way to taking on the 90 percent vendor. However, as I look at this, I think Chrome will cause both Apple and Microsoft to think twice about some things, but I don’t see that it represents much of a competitive risk to Apple, in fact, I’m no longer convinced the Android phone is much of a risk to the iPhone anymore, and I’ll explain why.
Enderle says, "This is one of the reasons Bing's move is so successful against Google Search. "
And just where does he get this info?? Is the stuff that drips from his mouth the only source of his information??
BING is new and is being heavily advertised. Should it grow quickly? SURE.
But the real facts will be its growth curve over say 3-6 months. If that curve goes flatter of downward, it means that Bing will live as long as MS pumps money into it. Month after month. :-)
Maybe that is why MS is losing so much money this quarter.
First, as a frustrated Microsoft operating system user I'm looking for something to replace Microsoft that works with all the other software I need for my business that's Windows based.
Second, you hit on something very important to anyone selling anything in any industry or sector of the market. That is; the way you sell, why you sell, and how you sell is at a pivotal cross-roads. Anyone who does not make changes in their sales approach is in a vulnerable position.
Those businesses are experiencing low sales already. It seems as if no matter what they do they can't get their sales back up.
Those who recognize the need to make the necessary changes, like Bill Gates in his time, hold the potential to dominate their market.

Is the Chrome OS an Apple Killer?

Just a thought.
