The technical aspects aside for them to even compete it would need IMO:
1. easy to use. It has to be dumb user friendly. It has to be something that the average person can get on their computer and in a few minutes be doing basic stuff with it.
2. It will have to run the software that is out there, or they will have to convince the software manufactures to make stuff that will work with it.
3. They will have to convince companies like Dell and HP and other big computer manufacturers to start offering it on their new computers and offering those computers at a lower price than the windows computer.
4. It has to come bundled with basic software. Right now a basic Windows package gives you a browser, email client wordpad, some games and other basic stuff so you can get started ASAP. They will need something like that. They can put Chrome on it, but they will also need an email client.
5. It has to have no strings attached. If they want you to go to Google and sign up for a google account to use it, many people will skip it. People are incredibly lazy and they don't want to be bothered to have to figure that out.
Anyway, that is just my thoughts.
