If there is such a thing as "The Linux Desktop and Server Wars" I'd rather say that Android and hypervisor virtualization have won them.

Which is to say I think it's more about whether or not we were asking the right questions back then. And are we now?

Are you running Android on your Desktop? No. So, no, Android is a great phone OS. It and the whole crappy touch experience have not and will not replace a Desktop.

Even if you don't count phone and tablet mobile devices, I know more people running Android or ChromeOS for their desktop than I do any traditional desktop Linux distro.

Desktop, yes. Happy user here.

But server ? That's still Red Hat's game, at least until Canonical becomes profitable.
