Oh, because if you add an OS made for touch/small screens on a notebook equipped with a keyboard, that immediately makes it as good as regular desktop OS ?



Android apps typically work quite well windowed, and given that Android tablet netbooks were a thing for a while: http://www.asus.com/uk/Tablets/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/ you'd be surprised how good they can be.


It's been possible to run Android apps on Chrome for a while now, and my experience was that they're terrible for the most part. Cryptic icon buttons with no tooltips and reliance on gestures like swiping in from edges does not make for quality desktop software.
