This is an interesting proposition - I'm not immediately able to Google
any good data to support either side. Essentially, the task is to
compare num_deployments(Android & Linux traditional + all embedded
systems) to num_deployments(Sun, BSD, IBM solutions, Mac OSX, Apple
iOS). If those are how one chooses to break down the groupings, than I
do agree with you, and retract my comment (2).
