The article started off with a wild assertion, that "Purism is beating the duopoly to that dream". A duopoly on computing? Windows is still by far the biggest desktop computing platform. They may have messed up mobile, but that doesn't make them irrelevant.

- benatkin 8y agoThat probably means that Android is not converging with a desktop platform anytime soon, except for a negligable fraction of users. Chrome OS certainly isn't a part of any duopoly. Not even close.
