Startup makes Android a Desktop OS

Matthaus Krzykowski and Daniel Hartmann, the founders of the startup Mobile-facts, have been successful in giving a makeover to the Google’s smartphone operating system, Android, as a desktop operating system. Surprisingly the duo took only about four hours of work to compile Android for the netbook.

In an interview to the PC World, the duo have been captured saying, “Having done so, we (Daniel Hartmann, that is) got the netbook fully up and running on it, with nearly all of the necessary hardware you’d want (including graphics, sound and the wireless card for internet) running.” In short, they found that Android was already a desktop operating system.

Interestingly, the duo claim to got Android running in desktop Linux mode on a netbook, the Asus Eee PC 1000H. It is also pointed out that Android is derived from Linux, a desktop operating system and thus moving Linux to a different platform had always been easy.

Now this story implies a lot to the Microsoft who is trying hard to rush its Windows 7, the next in the series of  Windows Operating systems to the market  sooner in the year.
