Sort of like what their main OS competitor, Microsoft, did with Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer. I can't tell you how many false steps people have taken over the phone when I have asked them to start one and they instead start the other (and I'm not even in phone support). βPer Hi Mona,

I think the article's conclusions are reasonable - such a limited OS is not likely to achieve more than niche market penetration. βPer Hi Mona,
