Tell bsd server admins how lame the web content is they are serving without linux.

Analyst predictions in this case should be taken lightly, simply because there are tasks that are not possible through a mobile device that are with a computer, that are quite frequently done.
Fortunately, those servers appear to run faster and more reliably than the Windows servers. AND the interface, as you pointed out, seems to hamper nobody thanks to some agreed-upon STANDARDS providing the interface while the kernel chugs away under the hood as it should.

Point being--pretending that Linux is something so alien as to be unlearnable is incredible hogwash and probably the basis for most of the ills in online society today. That, and AOL, historically.
