article's point is standing on a ******ed premise that just because they are both operating systems that they can be compared, so the whole idea of android beating windows is ******ed since android(or chrome os) cant replace ANY usefull OS

Sure, MS isn't "open" as in "open source". But at least they used to offer a relatively open platform (slowly changing now) that allowed people to have control over their data and hardware.
Google's Android, while offering open code in theory, is a much more dangerous threat to freedom than MS. They pretend to be open, but in fact encourage proprietary licensing and discourage GPLed code. They take all the data they can get, your mails, your contacts, your appointments, your documents, your searches, your location data and so on.
I wouldn't go "ha ha ha" if Google really gains more influence than it already has and overtakes MS in this business.

While there's nothing to stop the OEMs from modifying the kernel.
Firstly, the Nexus devices will be using stock kernel that means native Ubuntu, even if theoretical (also means Mer!).
But the majority of the devices will have OEM-kernels which are based on and close representatives of stock kernel. Which means at least Samsung and SONY, and probably Motorola. Which means a heavily modified ROM of Ubuntu/Mer on the OEM's kernel.

But this is old hat. Companies have been doing this for years to better market products. This includes government, enterprise, not-for profit, and extends all the way down to small retailers. All (successful) organizations collect and analyse information (even if its just receipts) about their customers and exploit this information to make more money.
This certainly includes MS who has proven themselves to have far less scruples than should be legal.
Incidentally, the company that you claim is worse than MS, Google, is also ironically one of the ONLY companies that actually allows you to remove your collected data, and even provides a user-friendly interface to do it. They even promote transparency by making it easier for lay-people to read their policies!
To think that MS is somehow a more responsible holder of your information is straight lunacy.
