I'm sorry Lumiaman but I think you have that wrong and heres just one example to contradict you.

Symbian was deployed to 1.4bn devices.

Thats more than Microsoft has shipped for Windows.
Thats more than Facebook has users.
Thats more than IBM has Lotus Notes seats.
Thats more than Microsoft has Exchange seats.

Doesn't sound very third rate to me.

Perhaps you are mistaken in your claim.

In fact I can only think of perhaps SQLite as having a larger software deployment off the top of my head. Maybe Java too.
