Rubbish, Unix is a protected memory OS, android isn't, the CPUs it runs
on can't even manage virtual memory in a meaningful way.

iOS
is Unix.


Some of it is but not the stuff that runs on phones.


Blackberry is Unix (and dying itself, sadly). Windows Phone is
nowhere.

(iii) In the server space, Unix won overwhelmingly.


Because its good unlike android and ios.


(iv) Microsoft are a marketing company, not a technology company. Most
people use Windows because they know no better.


Most people use windows because they can use windows.
They can't use linux on a desktop as the support isn't there for them to
use it. Most people don't have a clue about computers and that doesn't
mix with linux.

If the linux crowd ever actually wake up to that fact they might try and
make a version of linux that most people can use but don't hold your breath.
