Re: What do you think about Android and Chrome OS merging? is it a threat for MS windows 10 vision?
No, Chrome OS was never a threat, so why would just merging with Android be a threat?
Most people don't need the complexity of Windows or x86 programs. A laptop designed for consumers, running Android, is a huge threat to Microsoft.
Windows complex? it's not like android is the best thing either. you don't even get the same experience from phone to phone, because all OEMs do whatever they want with the UI and there are many things you can't easy find on Android either. but then, most people don't care about it, because as long as it does what they want, they are happy.
There was Linux before and it was FREE, and was it a threat? no. Linux having nice software like Maya, 3dCoat, Mari, Mudbox, etc etc. and what does android have? the same mobile apps that don't add anything to Desktop and Laptop experience. This reminds me of people saying how iPad Pro is the best thing and a threat to laptops, yet it's just a Mobile OS with nothing but mobile apps that aren't really optimized for mouse and keyboard.
so you can think whatever you want, but people don't get Android because it's a nice OS, they get it because it comes on many phones around, they don't even know they are running android, but they know it has the apps they see on tv or a website and they want to use. cheap phones that does that, without having to buy an expensive iPhone. you can say that's the same strategy that made Windows marketshare so strong, yes, but it doesn't mean people will ask for "oh does this laptop have android? I want one with android because windows is too complex for me", if that didn't happen with Linux, I dont think it will happen with Android either.
