Google Chrome OS and Eric Schmidt’s conflict of interest

According to an article on AppleInsider since the announcement of Google’s Chrome OS, Apple may now have no choice but to drive out Eric Schmidt. Eric currently has two major conflicts of interest, due to the fact he represents both Google and Apple.

Before the announcement of Google Chrome OS people already believed Apple should let him go as there was already a conflict of interest with Apple OS for iPhone/iPod and Google’s new Android OS, now with the obvious competition between MAC OS X and Google Chrome OS it seems that this departure should be immanent.

The FTC has already been investigating a possible violation of antitrust between Apple and Google, this will only become a bigger investigation if Eric doesn’t part ways with one of the companies.

As more details emerge we will keep you posted, check out AppleInsider for a more detailed look into the situation.
