Android is Linux; it is just not GNU/Linux which is what most are refering to when they speak of 'Linux'. 

I 've used GNU/Linux for years on my main desktop machine, but I think that Windows 7 has taken the wind out of desktop Linux.  I've been using Win 7 on my render machine for a few months, and it seems to be very nearly as stable as Windows 2000, which I wish MS had just improved rather than replacing with XP...

Umm, Android used the linux kernel, which is - after all - open source, but has been split off since 2010.  It is not linux, unless one ignores the libraries, API and development tools specifically built for, and incorporated in, the android schema.
