Today, I am testing Android OS. I tested and I don’t like it because it’s a smart phone OS. I can’t use mouse on that. I just use arrow key from keyboard for navigate. How stupid it that ? It may be design for touch screen. My laptop is not touch screen. So, I can’t use well. Sometime, I forget and moving mouse haha…. Some message show and I left click the mouse and no happen…. So funny… I forget, I can’t use mouse in their. I think it’s not suitable for Computer OS, now. They can’t compare Windows and also Ubuntu.
