One thing that the folks/upstream that are merging all these things 
together is missing is that the future of "user" computer is moving to 
phones and ipad type devices.  PC will still be around but the consumer 
has spoken and it looks like he/she is moving to these devices.  I don't 
condemn them for doing so as they want something that works.  Turn it on 
and get what they want done, PCs don't do this.
How are/would these giant concoctions going to play here as they don't 
have the storage, memory, or cpu to handle this.  The direction should 
be going in the tool kit style as in here's the kernel and you can bolt 
on all of these independent things. Something like android?
