Now that would be a much better proposition for the desktop than running Android proper.

I consider Android useless and totally without any value what so ever without their apps.

Android is just a carrier for many many apps that people likes and if I could run apps and just that it would be great, but if I can run android "as a app" that would be what comes after great.

In this case it seem legit to cross the river in order to get water...

This forum has another thread to keep up with Jide's Remix OS. in which our favorite developer has taken an interest. It has been suggested that Microsoft acquire Jide in order to replace its Windows Mobile with Remix OS. Jide's mission is to tweak Android to look and behave like Windows as a PC operating system, Remix OS. Any idea what kind of money Jide developers would receive by selling Remix OS to Microsoft?

Interesting reading, thank you.
Let's see what develops although I doubt very much that M$ would ever dump their Win mobile platform for something else.
They have too much invested in it.

I'm more excited about BarryK's post (can't find the link now) where he talks about a Linux distro that will run on tablets.

even with their apps... it seems like a platform designed to make it more irritating to develop in, all so it can be more irritating to run on other plaforms. or in other words, a take on the iphone that could only come from google.

Was he talking about the Ubuntu "convergence" thing? Pretty cool, actually (if and when, that is...) -
