It's your chart itself that is the problem. How are you going to compare the pros-cons of native vs. interpreted vs. JIT? How are you going to contrast the perceived speed due to the significantly different manner in which the various OSs do or do not multitask? UI quality? Ease of use? Power management? Quality of applications? Spit and polish? There are so many factors beyond your tick-marks that your chart is essentially meaningless.

I mention that it's impossible to cover every aspect on each side. We picked what are some of the more user-relevant features. This isn't meant to be the end-all-be-all research/we'll make your mind up for you! post, but rather an aid along the way for some one making a purchasing decision.

It may not be relevant to everyone, and sure, there will be people who think the chart is meaningless. It's the internet, I know what's up. Hater's gonna hate, etc.

Thanks for the feedback and for the constructive criticism(no sarcasm there) -- these things can quickly turn into flame wars, in which case everyone loses.
