I really wouldn't consider Chrome OS a threat to Windows. It's geared toward a niche hardware market (netbooks), centered on a paradigm that almost no one really understands (cloud computing), and underneath it all it's still Linux (which has made leaps and bounds in user-friendliness, but it's still the hacker OS... some people can't even seem to learn OS X). I'm not even betting on Chrome OS to overtake Ubuntu.
