please stop spreading the myth that ChromeOS is somehow immune to malware. nothing stops a dev from uploading malware to the Chrome web store, and there are many such cases that happened. the only meaningful metric of how safe a piece of software is, is the size and investment in the team responsible for the security of the product. And MS is leading in this aspect.
