Honestly. I agree with your post.

And I'm a long time Unix/Linux admin and I'm paid to work on *nix servers.

The thing is though, you'd have to include things like VMWare ESX as "Linux" if you go by your definition. Most people don't.

The point that it's a Kernel is to say, it's an underpinning to be built on. It's tough to put ESXi in the same sentence as, say a smartphone running Android. Same kernel...different purposes...different OS.

From my own point of view, I don't care what propeller heads in the basement think. The very fact that they want ANY software to "dominate the world" gives me some reason to question just how rational they are.
