7 million+ units [1].. Grant not big as Android or Apple but if everyone was to follow your ideology, Firefox OS or Ubuntu OS will never make a dent in the market. This will not only lead to duopoly but eventually end up hurting the consumer choices.

- Zigurd 13y agoYou are correct that there is a big danger of a duopoly. The previously Microsoft-dominated world of computing was boring and in places stagnant. Repeating that hegemony would also be boring and stagnant. That's one reason why I think viable ecosystems are valuable. The question is whether someone can stitch together a Tizen/Yahoo/OEM or Jolla/Baidu/OEM, etc. axis and make it work.
