Right, which really isn't even relevant in a thread about Macbooks. The guy had an issue about a macbook and asked about it - you tell him to swap platforms instead of helping him out with his issue.

If you can't help, maybe you should just move along to a Windows thread.

Its the same as someone asking for help with his Volkswagen and you telling him to sell it and buy a Honda.

And to your point about a "full blown OS" - any OS is full blown; what matters is the application that its used for. Windows 8.1 is a desktop OS and by your definition full blown - so what? So is Ubuntu or Mac OSx, but so could something like Android or Sailfish or any other OS, as long as the desktop needs are met by that OS. Thats why there's an emergence of Chromebooks.

Nothing stops you from attaching a monitor via HDMI, and a powered USB hub with keyboard and mouse, to android phone or tablet, and using that whole setup as a desktop.
