Simple... Google dominance... Google will take over the OS market completely through sheer brilliance alone. Google doesn't even have TV commercials, it considers them a waste of money. Its only focus is creating great products and services. And most people who use these services... when they buy a new phone or a tablet, will simply say to themselves, "Why not get a Google OS? I use a lot of their crap anyway?"Not to mention, there's literally twenty to thirty companies making phones and tablets and netbooks for Android and Chrome OS. Never since Microsoft, has the OS market seen such OEM support for one particular company... who happens to bear the name of Google. Both Microsoft and Apple have one thing to do: pass on their torch to the new kid on the block and retire, quite reminiscent of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson being surpassed by Michael Jordan... For you basketball fans out there... If you don't love basketball, there is something wrong with you... I haven't played basketball for like 3 months..... I'm having withdrawal syndrome.................... Okay I smoked a lot of hash and sativa today...
Google is simply too smart. In this day and age of information, the smartest wins, as opposed to the stone age, where probably the strongest won. This is a competition of brainpower, and Google will continue to expand into other industries until it swallows everything whole. Don't believe me? Think of how Google came out with Buzz... how many people will still use twitter when there's a Buzz button right on their gmail accounts? Email is something that people HAVE to use. Twitter is not. Plus with youtube, people can also post instant videos, not just text and picture, making Google's version of Twitter just that much more superior to well... the original Twitter. In the next year or two, look for the word "tweet" to be replaced by "buzz" in the mainstream media.
