All mobile phone OSes are still based on a filesystem. If you want to claim that the user's perspective of the computer is going to move away from a "file", then I agree. If you think the underlying software is going to do so simply because it got no-power-to-maintain memory, I think you're crazy.
Straw man. I said nothing of my opinion on non-volatile memory. I was only pointing out that more and more users are less and less tied to any particular operating system.
Uh... the whole subthread was about NVRAM and the likelihood of it replacing the filesystem with different storage models. You'll have to forgive me for inferring an opinion about the subject we were discussing; I just don't see how that can be a straw man. It's just what happens when you inject a non sequitur into an existing discussion.
Not a non sequitur at all. You wrote "you're assuming far more agility in the OS choice than is realistic in the market" which was a point to support your case about NVRAM. I was merely stating that point was weak because, realistically, the agility in OS choice is increasing within the market.
I actually wrote in defense of the traditional filesystem model in another post on this thread. Just because I don't agree with your reasoning doesn't mean I don't agree with your conclusion.
