So, curious what everyone thinks about the two operating systems (and maybe not their current iterations but their potential) and their ability to be utilized on mobile, desktop, tv, etc.
Microsoft made it very clear that they want to unify everything. I like their UI and think it's really some refreshing and different. We'll see how it fairs in the coming months.
Then you have Google Android. While they haven't explicitly stated they are doing the same, I can see them gaining traction with the Nexus line and transitioning upwards to laptops, desktops, TVs. They already have interest in these areas with their Chrome OS and Google TV. Android being so popular and their UI recognized and effective, I can see them abandoning Chrome and pushing Android everywhere.
To me, both companies are heading to the same destination (albeit taking different paths). This is versus Apple which has been very clear in their opposite to the mixing of the two.
Anyways... just wanted to see what others thought and get some discussion going.
