Google and Microsoft: who is screwing who?

So Google wants to be a player in the operating system market and Microsoft wants to be a search player? Meh. Now that the dust is settling a little after the initial media feeding frenzy that followed the announcement by Google that it was entering the operating system business, I have been asking myself just how scared Microsoft really should be. The answer I keep on arriving at is, contrary to what you might have read in hundreds of other blog postings and news reports, not very scared at all to be honest.
