Ok now if that's the case this doesn't seem as neat... I guess if you happen to have an empty dimm slot but that seems like a small niche. Why not just sell a tiny ssd drive that you could hook up to the molex power sockets and the sata cable? I'm not a server admin or anything though so maybe I'm missing something.

i said userspace, not user interface.

That's true but I feel like we're arguing over semantics here. I picked one part of the userspace as an example.

Android is not binary compatable with desktop linux (even desktop linux that has been ported to whatever hardware you happen to be running android on).

What does binary compatibility have to do with it? I don't mean that in a confrontational way and it's not a rhetorical question. Wouldn't Android, Jolicloud, Chrome OS and Meego all be distributions of linux just the same as Debian, Ubuntu or Suse?

See, that makes sense. As smart as the Apple folks seem I just can't imagine that they'd be trying to dominate the market with the same strategy that didn't work last time around. If what you've said is truly their business MO than that would explain a lot.

Wait though, I didn't say GNU/Linux... and it *is* using the linux kernel. Many distro's use a variant of the linux kernel and different user interfaces, gnome, kde even commandline UI's like screen. So it's perfectly valid to call Android a linux OS.
