Because Computer work is not only web surfing and email. Imagine a photographer, technical designer, architect, lawyers, ..., and pretty everyone working in IT - just to give a few examples. Imagine all the people working with branch specific software - e.g. dental technician. - I cannot imagine any of those working on a smartphone or tablet only. > For the global perspective most people probably do not have a PC while > they may have a smartphone. You could say they only surf the web.. Of course - somebody cleaning toilets all day long (and this example is not because I do not appreciate the work of those!) does not need a high sophisticated operating system and neither does a waitress! But do you want to build an OS that an IT guy and lawyer likes to use or do you want to build one that is likes by a waitress? - Both should be satisfied, but let's be honest: If you need to mail and surf the web only then it is pretty irrelevant which OS you use! > In India and other countries Android is the most popular operating > system including for browsing the web; according to Statcounter; "Mobile > usage has already overtaken desktop [...] That is no wonder - you should get also statistics about how many people are working in which branch and: I do a lot of web surfing on my way to work or to customers while traveling - reading (IT) news for example. But while programming or writing concept documents at/for/with customers nearly no web network traffic is produced. And guess what: Usability and software features are far more relevant to me in these situations! - So be aware that such statistics are partly useless if it comes to usage of an operating system. Please do _not_ reduce computer work to email, web surfing and chat! And I am still convinced that this bug 1 has been closed prematurely.
