Windows is not open source, AOSP is

A lot of people still don't see how the operating system as a whole is open source, not having properly supported open source apps is not the best, but while we can make apps and/or update the aosp versions, we can't make an operating system...

What? Just checkout the sources and go through them, maybe?

If your definition of "properly supported" means "supported by Google", I guess...

Supported => Supported by Google yes.

I think you misread my comment, or I wasn't clear enough, I work on AOSP daily so I know very well what's in there :)

Oh, maybe I did misunderstand it, indeed. Sorry :)

There's not a single phone on earth running AOSP though
