Android has made Linux and Open Source be a very "humane" and "comfortable" is used. Android Linux users feel that is in phone (mobile / smartphone) or a tablet it's not weird stuff. Then why Linux but Android does not / can not like Android?

Readily accepted cause of the first Android phone and tablet users (Android-Pad) is because Android combine Linux and its programs with the hardware hp and tablets in a package assembly and sales. It does not / has not been the case with most non-Android Linux operating system. Generally Linux is developed by "independent" or a separate computer with the assembly. In addition to Android, just a few of Linux's success in sales due to successful memaket with this hardware assembly and sales, one example is packaged in a RedHat Linux server sales. We are still waiting for Linux being left behind parent Meego - Nokia. We're also still waiting for the next version of Ubuntu. :-)

Android readily accepted the second cause is the success of meeting the needs of users phone users who are not covering the needs of computer users. Yet we know that computers are very widely used and so far only contains proprietary programs, ranging from office only MS Office, Photoshop and Corel Draw graphics only, only SPSS data processing, only the VB programming, playing games online is only available for Windows, etc..

The third, hp users already familiar with the menu changes and appearance. Hp user does not feel weird when switching from one brand to another brand of phone, although the need to learn or adapt. This is not the case with most computer users are not used to change the operating system, the computer was just him and wants Windows to use Windows only. :-)

Thus, "the fate of" Linux on a computer will be very different if Linux is "just" Android. Meaning:

* Linux is packaged in the assembly and sales of desktop computers, netbootk, notebooks, and servers.

* Computer users want to use the office in addition to MS Office, image processing than Photoshop, CorelDraw drawing apart, in addition to VB programming, online games available on Linux, and others.

* Computer users recognize that changing the menu and the desktop display is the norm, such as hp just switch brands.
