Let's make a reasonably fair comparison:
Android runs on all kinds of devices from different manufacturers.
Windows runs on all kinds of devices from different manufacturers.
I can write a program that runs nicely on pretty much any Windows box pretty easily. To do the same on Android is more painful (but that's mostly because desktop applications deal with varying screen resolutions more gracefully than mobile platforms).
I can upgrade pretty much any Windows box to the latest version of Windows.
I cannot upgrade most Android devices to the latest version of Android.
Swap "Linux" for "Windows" if my use of a commercial analogy offends your sensibilities.
Now, part of this is a problem with the phone market. But is Android fragmentation on tablets any better?
