I know that the behavior of the Chrome and Android teams hasn't always SEEMED like they were part of the same company, but they are. Microsoft and Red Hat are two different, competing organizations. If Android and ChromeOS are two different, competing organizations (and at one point, that really did seem to be the case), that's a problem for Google.

If Microsoft created and maintained both Linux and Microsoft, your analogy would make more sense.

Your thing, doesn't relate to his thing. Not one bit.
