You bring up a valid technical point, but it fails to capture the notion of platform. I think we both agree that Android could run desktop class software, hell you can probably x-forward and do it now. When we see this graph I foam at the mouth, thinking that a Windows x86 computer and cell phone are on the same level. But is that how it being used? Is that how it is being used in 2005, is that how it is being used in 2012? Ironically the recent spike in x86 Windows tablet sales (now priced at $200) might actually unite these form factors - under MS's terms. My point is that these lines are rather arbitrary, and are today a poor indicator of computing market share weighted by margins - which was indisputably how MS makes it money. I wonder if they have to replace each-other or do they augment or compete on a different playing field. Although strongly agree that a disproportionate amount of investment in SF is going toward the Android side.
