You can already do just about anything with one of the linux suites.

LOL! "Just about anything" being the key phrase.

Most people seem to do little with their computer but write memos,work in spreadsheets,do the occasional presentation,and play solitaire.

Most of those people software needs are easily met by linux(or were met years ago by simpler computers and OSes.)

I submit that most workers have XP and Office solely due to standardization.

Companies that use process-control software are even more reluctant than consumers to move to the new version of Windows each time.I've seen that while working at a very large international soap/personal products company and at an international chemical and plastics corporation.The former took two YEARS of in-house testing before switching to Windows 95;as I remember,Win 98 was being released as the company was installing Win95 in place of Win 3.11 !The latter has yet to install Vista and still uses WinXP Pro with some systems still running Win2K and even NT 4.0

Is Android a new OS from the ground up, or is it (like Linux and Apple) some type of Unix variant?

Well there are some things it doesn't do as well....like catch Viruses and other Malware.....
