Mobile is dead! (or the flexibility of Linux)
,----[ Quote ]
| I don't think there is any compatibility between say Vista and Mobile
| or even Mobile and CE. You have different tool sets for many of
| these, completely different kernels in many cases and some have
| arbitrary limitations that I don't quite understand from a
| technical perspective. Behind the scenes this all has to be a
| nightmare to manage and I'd guess the duplication of effort
| is astounding. Makes me glad I run Linux on almost every device I own.

On the other hand (sharp contrast):
On the Bench: PCLinuxOS 2007, radically simple?

| Using the KDE desktop as a starting point does provide some
| challenges of course. It is most similar to the Windows
| interface, but at the same time it makes as many options
| as possible available to the enduser which works against
| the effort of making the desktop simple. If the PCLinuxOS
| team wants to do something radical it needs to re-design
| the KDE desktop. Of course this would alienate the more
| experienced KDE users in its fanbase, but then again who
| is the user you want to create a distribution for?
