Android cometh

[TykeMerc]

So what does it say about Linux when Android's been out 5 minutes and major manufacturers are excited and Linux has been out for decades and still lives in the dark ages?

Linux will never displace Windows, but something else from Google, Sony or Apple have a very good chance.

What Churchill said plus to expand on that marketting the O/S releases has always been considered a bit "wrong" by large chunks of the linux fraternity. Many Linux users are techies or at the least enthusiasts, as a result it's percieved as a hobbyists O/S, a techies O/S or a geeks O/S rather than a mass user O/S.

Sandals, socks & beards.

That's more like the problem.

A client had RedHat, I inserted an SD card, and nothing happened.

Surely you would have known that'd be the case, a man of your obvious (although self professed) great intellect and technical ability.
