imagine you have a microsoft controlled smartphone and want to call an ambulance, your office or family and Microsoft Inc grays out your smartphone desktop and NOTHING works anymore ...

when nokia moves all high end from opensource to Msoft, then bye bye Nokia as a 9 years Nokia-only user.
Because proprietary OS has so many commercial developer support. End of the question

You can't deny the fact that windows(desktop) has the most useful apps ever compared to other OS'. Would like to see at least a decent MMORPG on linux though... Same also with a photoshop alternative for linux. Admit it gimp sux... Can't even make an underlined, italic, or strike through style on their text. Such a basic feature not implemented. But I'm a linux fan haha dual booting linux with windows. Mainly windows for entertainment and linux for development.
