npub1yyx7sllvsrr0fauh2rdlqk5rakf3963g9xk4a7j5uhfcs00lr3kq42qa5g (npub1yyx…qa5g) What egos these billionaires have! Android took off only because Mr. Gates was briefly distracted? 🙄
Android is the top consumer operating system in the world: it (and thus, Linux) has also surpassed MS Windows.
Android took off b/c core AOSP is free, so it's available on inexpensive devices for the big part of the world's population that can't or won't pay royalties to Microsoft or Apple.
The founder of the Gates Foundation should have realised that.
