I have also noted Ballmer's claim, but he has a clear distinction that does hold true. While Microsoft may have all these versions, they are all branded "Windows-," while Google carries the Chrome and Android brands. Either sides' underlying technical differentiators don't matter in Ballmer's argument. His is purely a business perspective that claims one OS brand should win over multiple brands in terms of communication and marketing; the extent to which Ballmer really understands the differences between Chrome and Android, and all the Windows "OSes" is undertermined.
