So by your logic, Android is the McDonald's.

  In so far as it gives people what they want for cheap and is widely available, sure.

  The logic is that "leading edge" and "popular" are not necessarily related.

    But surely the fact that very few use Windows 8 could signify that it is not the leading edge, because it is unpopular.

      Sure, it could. It could also be ahead of its time. Do you have an argument as to why Windows 8 and Windows Phone is not leading edge, besides the fact that it isn't very popular?

        Because Windows 8 is kind of a hot mess? If they could jettison all of the holdovers from Windows XP and replace things like the file browser and command console with "Metro Native" apps, it would still be pretty to look at, but painful to live with. If you want to talk about leading edge, look to webOS which was ahead of its time in significant ways.
