Adding insult to injury, its likely that once-dominant Microsoft will not only be crushed by Android/GNU/Linux in mobile, but also by other upcoming mobile ecosystems built on GNU/Linux - Amazon's Android fork and the Tizen mobile OS.
As of June, Google said that Android/GNU/Linux was on 400 million devices and that each day 1 million new devices were activated by users worldwide.
Clearly, no one is worrying about why Linux failed on mobile!
- cooldeal 14y agoLinux dominates on the routers too, but people still spend most of their time using laptops and desktops. Android/GNU/Linux? What? Locked bootloaders, closed source drivers? You're angering RMS.
