You are right, but my point is about benchmarking. If you use a set of tests (compiled SW, binary executables using some system libraries), those tests are supposed to perform some tasks in the current devices. If they had used a quantum computer to test an hypotetical "Windows 28" with the current tests, the results would have been as distorted as using a "Windows 3.11 to Windows 95 benchmark suite" over a current dual core 64bit CPU.

The only chance to succeed is to offer the same front-end APIs/runtime/libs to work (adapted) on true Linux OS. You probably won't have full acceess to Posix, neither a hi-res screen in Tizen, but its native apps should run bigger and faster in a desktop just recompiling (or even better without recompiling). Develop once, run it everywhere. That's the only missing offer in the smartphone/tablet ecosystem nowadays (I'm skeptic about W8 promises).

Comment Re:Nasa Warp Drive Project (Score 1) 139

We don't know how to CREATE gravity yet. If we were able, it should be needed as much gravity as entire Earth offers to feel a warp effect as weak as the registered by the experiment in a period of 52 years. Even if the (yet to be discovered) Higgs Boson particle offers a way to manipulate gravity and inertia, there is no (safe enough) energy source to use in space to handle it. It is not impossible, but it is unfeasible nowadays and for a looooong time.
