The OS used by the vast majority of businesses
is "legacy"? I suppose that what you really mean
is that using a computer to do work is "legacy".
Perhaps it is for you. Somehow I can't quite picture
a secretarial pool or a group of stockbrokers all
sitting in rows doing their work on an Android phone,
with a toothpick for typing.

You represent the consumer voice. The
people who don't mind spying, don't mind not owning
their own files, and mainly want to shop, Facebook,
or play games. The DiddleSphere. What I find odd is
that while you're happy to pay through the nose for
your phone and the service that makes it usable, you
don't want to pay even a few dollars for software.
You'd rather pay with your privacy and your dignity.
Then you turn around and say it's all free! What's free?

I can get 3 Windows computers for the cost of a
top-end Android cellphone. And even after paying
so much for the phone, Google and the app makers
would spy on me and sell me out to advertisers. Here's
a report from NYT this week:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/b...-tracking.html

It's about phone apps rigged to monitor and recognize
audio output in order to report to advertisers what
TV shows you watch on your phone, and where you were
when you watched them. I'm amazed at what people
are putting up with. Have you no self-respect?

You can choose between iPhone and Android.


I just don't own a phone except house's landline for emergencies and it
works when power is out which cell towers don't do I suspect.
