"To get an idea of what this fight for control of the netbook OS means from a consumer perspective, look at how long it takes you to find and forward an email on an unfamiliar computer. It doesn’t take long, because most computers are similar, thanks to the ubiquity of one or two OSes. Now think about how long it takes to complete the same task on an unfamiliar phone. Probably a lot longer because the interface can vary so widely across different devices and OSes." - Alan Cheslow from Bookmarklet
