Microsoft is apparently shrugging off the big Chrome OS announcement from last week, which seems a bit silly to me. Considering Google is very big on FREE, a school of which Microsoft does attend – and with years of frustrated MS OS users, I would say that a Google offering will be a very welcome option. Especially being a Linux base – so hey, maybe we won’t need some ungainly antivirus/firewall suite bogging down our systems.. mmm, to dream. Anyway – here’s some more reason MS ought to worry -

Googles got a not-so-secret weapon in its bid to convert the world to applications such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google Talk, Google Sites and, soon, Googles Chrome operating system: the 17 million college students on more than 4,000 campuses across the country.

For more than two years, Google has approached colleges and universities with a near-unbeatable offer: provide unlimited hosted e-mail and other applications, all branded by the institution and delivered free of charge.
