I fail to see the point.

The people that complain the most here are those that seem to fall into the "poweruser" category. That instead move off to a inferior (my view) DE like xfce just to keep their muscle memory or leave for tiling window managers, a completely different wm strategy.

Why do you think that these people would love working with Android as OS/DE? It seems to me that Android is much _worse_ for them - and falls exactly into the 'We don't want something that seems to be made for tablets, we want a productive work environment' line of complaints?

Edit: Oh, and let me add a snarky comment regarding 'That someone should be Intel': No, if you like to have a nice integrated environment that differs from current DEs and is tablet friendly, than Intel would be happy to see you using MeeGo, on a 'real' Linux stack.



Yeah, MeeGo is going everywhere. Snark aside I wasn't saying use Android as is on Desktops if you read what I wrote. It is already somewhat desktop-ish and would need to be made more so but I don't see why that would be hard to do.
