Hi Tom
Yep, and these mobile devices are in the majority of using Android
today, a Linux distro, having outpaced even the successful Apple
pad/tablet with iOS on them. And as I covered, Firefox O/S for mobiles
is here and next year Ubuntu Touch which is being designed to run
alongside Android if one so wishes.
If you look at the web advertising of the Ubuntu device known as the
Ubuntu Edge, it is, if it lives up to it's sales pitch, going to be the
most powerful mobile device on the market, running both Ubuntu desktop
O/S, Ubuntu Touch and Android. Cannonical are hoping that it will be so
powerful as to replace many desktops, by simply plugging in a screen,
keyboard and mouse, see the video in the supplied URL. Plus if you have
the money, you can buy one now, as I have already done with the $775
choice, right side of page. I would have liked to have gone for the
$10,000 option but whew!! that's a bit steep for my pocket.

Hi :)
I think Windows will continue to dominate the desktops and full
laptops, maybe even down to notebooks.
Netbooks died off for 1 reason only. That was because people wanted
Windows on them and then found that the machines ran ridiculously
slowly. Any version of Gnu&Linux, even Ubuntu, made the machines
really fast and seemingly powerful. People weren't ready for
non-Windows back then. However they were a good ice-breaker. Now
people are happy with even smaller and less powerful devices.
So, while Windows dominates the desktops we keep hearing that the "age
of the desktop is over" and it's already being reported that comparing
the amount of time people spend on desktops compared to using
hand-helds has already tipped in favour of the hand-helds and other
mobile devices.

And some more info and statics with charts, to refudiate your
claims of
Windows XP and Vista (the latter also a disaster for MS) of combined
market share.
http://www.statista.com/topics/823/microsoft/chart/799/market-share-of-selected-windows-operating-systems/
And it shows what you know of Linux. FACT, it along with various
flavours of Unix, power the known global Internet servers,
Observatories, MET/weather offices, Space exploration, the Mars
machines, the majority of military machines/equipment, medical
equipment, and lo and behold a good number of desktop, laptops around
the world, and the no.1 O/S for mobile - Android, followed shortly by
Firefox O/S and Ubuntu Touch.
You like many, incorrectly and simply refer to the desktop/laptop
use of
an O/S, yes where MS currently dominates, but not for long.
Good Day
