Both are open source and both have large support communities. Given that Windows now runs on ARM, Microsoft is not too far from entering the same game. And it has a Killer feature in terms of Kinect. A "smart" TV that can directly play games with Kinect can be a huge Win for Microsoft. There are already speculation that Apple is going to enter the same market soon. In that scenario, Android seems to have the best chances among the OSS stacks. It is open and it has financial backing from Google. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
