On the contrary if all you "need" Windows for is iTunes you might as
well buy an Apple next time.

I see the issue as freedom, and I think recent actions in the DRM field
by Apple are making it very clear to others that freedom matters. This
may finally be the year of the "Linux Desktop", but the Linux desktop
called Android, and it doesn't look much like most folk imagined it
would a few years back.

"Apple are making it very clear to others that freedom matters"
only if you buy their kit!

Android is not a linux desktop - its a linux small device screen manager.
It may advance phones but its functionality compared to even the simplest desktop is very restricted.
