First time accepted submitter mugi writes "The Microsoft Windows Marketplace was so far only available in 63 countries, and only 38 of those were allowed to submit apps. But now, Microsoft is planning on expanding that list considerably and has announced to bring the new Windows 8 Marketplace to over 180 countries at launch."

I grew up thinking that Linux was more than just a kernel
You were wrong.
and with Android it feels like Linux is just the kernel.
That's because it is, just as it is with every other Linux distribution.
That makes me a bit sad
You were wrong, get over it. If you really want Ubuntu or Gentoo or RHEL or Debian or whatever on a tablet then go do it, but no one wants your idea of Linux on a tablet, however millions of people want Android, which is also just as much Linux on a tablet.
and is why I don't really consider Android tablets to be Linux tablets.
But the fact is they are as much Linux tablets as a tablet running Ubuntu or Gentoo or whatever, your inability to understand what Linux is doesn't change that.
