Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said he doesn't believe Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s plans to introduce a computer operating system called Chrome poses a threat to his company's Windows franchise.

"Who knows what that thing is," said Ballmer, speaking Tuesday at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner conference in New Orleans. "To me, this Chrome thing is highly interesting," said Ballmer, somewhat wryly.
Ballmer said Google's intention to market two operating systems—the search giant already has its Android OS for mobile devices—could confuse the marketplace.
"I don't know if they can't make up their mind or what the problem is over there, but the last time I checked, you don't need two client operating systems," said Ballmer. "It's good to have one," he said.
