IMHO
Even if the Google OS is 500 times better than Windows, before everyone adopts it, Mircosoft can just copy all the features into their own product the same way they did with browsers. Multiple companies have come out with better browsers than Internet Explorer, not just better, light years better, and yet Internet Explorer is still on top.
That's the advantage of having a huge installed base all over the world. You can simply update your product before everyone switches to the better offering by another company. It takes much more than just a better product to even put a dent in Mircrosoft's core products. It will take a huge disruptive technology that has yet to be seen or invented.
