And what has the desktop done since the first version(s)? Not changed, not one bit. Face it, this is a change... not the best one, but a change nonetheless.

But to answer your "web office suites"... Microsoft Office Live, ThinkFree Office, Google Docs among others.

OS's? Heh, in an extremely simplified view, there's Linux, OSX, Windows. All others, Android, Maemo, Moblin, Mobile OSX, WinMo... are just iterations of the aforementioned three (in a simplified manner).

Now... when it was Maemo being offered as an alternative, it was welcomed. Why the knee-jerk reaction to this as an alternative?

It's better than having none.
