Also, most people in my experience aren't willing to learn the nuances of more than one or two operating systems. For them Windows was hard enough, mac on top of that make two, why would they bother with Linux?

As I said before, if someone ports the iOS UI and runs it over WP7 (not on Samsung, apparently), none would be the wiser.
So, even if people actually use Unix on iPhone, e.g., they aren't any more familiar with Maemo or Fedore than a Windows user is. I don't know any iPhone users that have ever used gconftool, patched a bug themselves or edited a config file as a requirement of use.

As for people and choices, you're wasting your breath. I've been in many communities and, while it's undeniable that the id1ot is universal and can live in most environments, like bacteria, some communities are better and some are worse. TMO has reached a point where you find a single real post per page. Depending on your settings.
Conserve your energy.

Here is a hint - stop reading the idiot useless no aim debating threads like these and stick to the technical app/dev/bug related threads
If you read a dumb thread you get dumb relies - no **** sherlock

So, yes, there are corners where it makes sense. And then there is the thread-that-tries-to-discuss-alternatives. Sooner or later (rather sooner) all threads that involve Microsoft, Windows, iOS, OSX, competition in general get run into the ground within the first page no matter what the settings are.
And it's not going to go away, either, MS is here to stay. I am aware that introducing Windows to a Linux forum is bound to create friction, but we're talking re-entry friction here, complete with name calling, blanket insults and questioning sexual orientation. Sheesh.

So this makes up for the wonky microUSB, lack of updates, lack of support from Nokia, and people having issues with the PR1.1, PR1.2 and PR1.3 - in very small numbers, mind you - updates for the N900, right?

Edit: after investigating a bit, I find that I am mistaken -- underneath all the UI cruft, iOS appears to be running some version of the Mach kernel. That makes it a lot closer to the Android model than I thought. It also means that, if Apple should ever find the interest in doing so, they could scale up iOS fairly easily...
