                  One thing I don't understand. When we download something on Android say for example opera browser, it asks for multiple permissions including files and storage. While on Windows when we download and install opera browser, it doesn't ask for permissions. So does it mean that we people are easy to get spied on Android?

                    While in the mobile side, phones are getting more and more powerful, hitting same processing power as PC.

                    While in the PC side, pc are getting smaller and smaller, things like intel NUC, moving to external GPU enclosure, thunderbolt 3 etc etc, so you can game at home, and work outside with a tablet.

                    Soon the both worlds will converge.. then BOOM, one will die, the other will carry on.
                    Android will die if they do not come out with a desktop UI.
                    Windows will die if they do not attract enough App makers.

                    But.. if both Google and Microsoft did nothing.. then there could a chance both will survive.

                          It will become more obvious once ARM-based windows laptops debut, and when the concept ARM-based server processor goes into production.

                            It had to happen. It was in the pipeline. And it will keep growing always more.

                                  Nobody wants to run his software on old x86 processors and fewer still in the future.

                                  it's funny because I call it again and you don't believe me. By 2025 you'd remember me. You'd remember that a random dude on the net called it. X86 is dying haha.
