Irrelevant. Can you run Linux apps, unchanged, on your cell phone?

For that matter the Mac OS X is *nix based

Which doesn't make it Linux, either.

Each OS has it's place. But the world is trending away from windows on
the mobile. Windows is a hog, with way too much that never should have
been in the kernel. In mobile devices power consumption is key and *nix
devices are way ahead in that as well as being leaner.

So what? I don't care for Windows but I really have no choice. That
was the whole point! sheesh


Really, why not?

Support, apps. You know, the things that really matter. Only the
ultra-religious care about what goes on underneath.

You can easily use either a mac or linux.

Sure I can. So what?

there's very little these days that isn't browser based or java based.
So many apps run on all platforms.

Evidently your whole life is spent on the Web. Whatever floats your
boat but I have work to do, too.
