Certainly. The bottom line is, however, that providing such a feature that is good for Joe Phone out-of-the box is something that can be done only by the vendor. I understand that (if it worked well) users would value it, developers, too, but as said above, for the vendor, it makes no sense because it's poisoning their (native) ecosystem unless they intend to switch to Android anyway.

It's obviously not a black-and-white picture (yes, I did a fair share of missionary work among my relatives/friends, too), and obviously windows is not *only* used by computer neophytes. However, the average savvy-o-meter is, if I would have to guess, tilted to the Linux side (no, I don't have hard numbers or Stanford studies to prove it).
