I was referring to Linux's superior network stack, memory management, multi-core CPU handling, etc. The user-experience of Dalvik on a Linux kernel would be superior to a Dalvik instance running on a WIN CE kernel.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoCare to back that up with evidence? Can you prove Linux would actually have enough of an edge over WinCE that a user would be able to perceive a difference, given identical hardware?
- jbuzbee 14y agoWell we've diverged a bit from the thread, but I'll make a final comment. I'm not aware of any apples to apples comparisons between Linux/Dalvik and the equivalent under a WIN CE combo. So the above is my opinion based on years of painful experiences dealing with clunky Windows embedded devices. Ultimately, the market will decide if customers will put up with a WIN CE device and right now, it's not looking good for Microsoft.

WM sucked while WP is much much better. >Ultimately, the market will decide if customers will put up with a WIN CE device and right now, it's not looking good for Microsoft. I guess Linux failing on the desktop means it is clunky and painful to use and thus is not looking good? Not to mention that OS X share of desktop is less than WP's share of the phone market. Marketshare is not the whole picture. And that's not even counting WebOS devices like the Pre and Touchpad, which totally failed even with the "Linux's superior network stack, memory management, multi-core CPU handling, etc" of the kernel it used.
