I don't know much about android but PC users might want an OS that
will run a week or two without a reboot, either from a crash or an
update. They would also like one with a stable API so you don't need
to update your OS for the next big thing, usually requiring a new
machine.. Windoze is the last vestige of planned obsolescence

Because of the complexity of the operating systems of today, I doubt
that's possible.

The problem is that the OS is all encompassing with things that should
be optional, being coded right into the OS. It is unnecessary
complexity but part of the Microsoft monopoly thinking.
I need the same OS to take a few hundred bytes a minute from my
weather station and post it on the web as I would use to run a small
publishing company

But what is it that the system "doesn't" do for you? What part of the
system is keeping you from doing what you could do without it??
