When it comes to operating systems, sure. But that's not Google's real target.

However, many everyday tasks that we carry out in our PC are done on the Web browser. Google has a very strong position in search, email and other services. Even the leading Web browser is theirs.

When your PC becomes just another way to run a Google browser to use Google services, I'd call that success.

Not in a small part because it lowers the barrier to doing a larger and larger share of your computing outside of a Windows PC, on mobile. Where Google leads as well.
