You can argue that you can do everything better with linux (which one - all a garbled mess with incompatible to each other distros). Which OS do you recommend that will run on everything?

Talk about a garbled mess ... First off, I don't
need the same OS on everything. I don't need everything to "run and look the same." A desktop computer is, by its very nature, fundamentally different than a phone or tablet. For example, my phone is mostly a phone. I like to get my email and keep notes (Evernote) -- which works fine on Linux. I also -- occasionally -- read books on it or play a game of pinochle -- sometimes I look something up on the Internet or ask it to navigate to a specific address. Why does it need to be a small Linux computer? (although, it IS Linux, the Android variety). All Linux distributions are "Linux" -- only someone who doesn't use Linux would fall for the M$ FUD that it's a "garbled mess." I call it choice. I can choose (and customize) the exact desktop I want, instead of accommodating myself to what Microsoft thinks I
should want.
At any rate, it's all a pipe dream anyhow. Windows phones are going nowhere. That's why the new M$ CEO is pushing for Cloud computing apps that work on any platform. He's seen the handwriting on the all.
