The fact that Linux achieved what Microsoft could not?
Or the fact that a small group of developers (Access/PalmSource) managed to
do it so quickly (Microsoft promised this after Windows XP)?
Or the fact that this was implemented to become embedded?
Or the fact that this will address the needs of mobile devices, as opposed to
desk/laptops (even servers)?
Or the fact that this would be shared among more projects?
Also see the new fascinating project:
