Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, has already expressed his negative thoughts towards Google’s Chrome OS and now Bill Gates has taken a shot at the upcoming operating system. In an interview with CNET Gates described Chrome OS as just another Linux distribution.
"there's many, many forms of Linux operating systems out there and packaged in different ways and booted in different ways," adding that, "in some ways I am surprised people are acting like there's something new. I mean, you've got Android running on Netbooks. It's got a browser in it."
Gates went on to take another shot at Google by saying that “the more vague they are, the more interesting it is," before getting a little philosophical by asking: "What's a browser? What's not a browser?" His answer? "In large part, it's more an abuse of terminology than a real change."
