This repeated notion of a truly converged OS is really annoying and it is very disappointing to see Ubuntu continue to pursue it despite the loud complaints of most of their users.
Lets point out the obvious: the user interaction of a small handheld device is very different than that of a computer with a full size monitor and mouse. Thus any os's on those two devices have to have different UI features. That's it.
Of course the parts of the OS that are not UI can be converged. In that sense Linux is already a fully converged OS.
But you are never going to fully converge the UI of two devices that use vastly different UI methods.
