Lots of devices run on Android but that's because there isn't a valid alternative. QnX and it's brethren are used where failure is not an option.

I used it daily on my PC for years and it was hands down the best environment I've used with distance (mostly compared to IRIX, Windows and Linux). Super responsive, never locks up, no weird delays it just works, 24x7, year after year. The whole throughput argument never worked anyway, that was just Linus talking about something that he didn't have direct experience with, it's latency that is far more important than raw throughput in interactive computing because interactive computing is a real time task.
