Agreed, although I guess at this point (having the same  desktop on different 
kernels) the choice would be of manufacturers, producing software for the 
platform(s) of choice, rather than users.

I don't think at that point many software companies would care about what 
kernel they code for, unless they're producing 3d hw-accelerated games and 
similar. Btw, I'd love to see winders as only-for-gamers platform ;)
