Since when is OS X a mobile platform? ;)

That was _announced_ with Swift 2.0, but my google searches show 
it has neither been open sourced nor made available for linux yet.

I mentioned Swift as a compliment: note that I didn't mention Go 
or Rust, which already have mobile support for iOS and Android.

Well, we all know how scared Microsoft got of the much smaller 
Asus and other netbook vendors last time, cutting the price of 
Windows 7 to fend the netbooks off.  I suspect this time MS will 
simply cut and run. :)
