Well I'm sceptical you can make a good desktop OS by modifying Android. Major desktop OSs (including their ecosystems!) have been developed for decades, there's a lot of depth in their functionality, flexibility, different use cases. Two of the main issues are that apps designed for Android touch devices suck on desktop and that the Android SDK is very limited compared to what deskop OSs offer. Don't get me wrong, I also think that current desktop OSs suck - it's just that Android-as-a-desktop is not the solution.
About the sdk point I completely agree. Unless you want somewhat shallow os
There is no way for Android sdk to compete with real world desktop os.
By shallow I mean something which don't have much functionality. This is not absolutely bad thing.yes most of powey users will not use that ,but for people who want to chat, browse, and use Skype this is not a bad this.but the point is these kind of users already leaving desktop after tablets/phone revolution.
It's exactly for those users. Android is easy to maintain and hard to fuck up for the regular user, which is what everyone does with any and all Windows PCs. And you can't just get a grandma to use Linux.
