In reply to Teren Bryson.

You make some valid arguments, Teren, and I completely agree that consumers are not "married" to OS's, but rather to the investments they've made in the OS they primarily use (and also feel an affinity to OS's based on the influence exerted over them by marketing's manipulative grip). With that said, even if our mobile devices are reduced to embeddable microchips that function subcutaneously or as a part of contact lenses, I still believe that hardware manufacturers will differentiate how their devices will function, and in that way I can see the OS battle living on.

Does my argument change your mind at all, or do you still feel just as convinced the OS battle will not continue for long?
