Which races uses which mobile OSes in SoaSE:R?

from Sins Forums

Well, we have 3 races in the game, for those who do not know it yet: TEC, Advent and Vasari. And currently there are 3 mobile OSes of any significance: Windows Phone, Apple iOS and Google Android. 

The question is: which race uses which OS, and why?

 

My take: 

 

Advent = Apple iOS.

Advent are Apple fanboys. They are design freaks and consider themselves above the norm. Homo Sapiens Superior, if you will.

 

TEC = Google Android.

A hodgepodge incongruent mess which nevertheless may be able to deliver what you need. You can basically run it from a potato-powered arduino, and TEC like cheap stuff. No need to snobbing around 'superior design' and squandering resources just to have a shinier  thingamajig to do just the same.

 

Vasari = Windows Phone.

Vasari are ruthlessly effective, just like Microsoft in its monopoly days, at least in the matter of killing the opposition. Who cares if they have some bluescreens here and there. Just like the vasari, Windows Phone is coming in small numbers, but has a not very humble goal of taking over the galaxy.

This would also explain why the Advent has an inferior economy as they have to spend twice as much money at the Apple Store to get the same result  the TEC and Vasari get.

I'd give the Vasari android because androids generally have the most raw power behind their hardware

and the TEC being capitalist could surely get behind a monopoly such as microsoft

Advent actually use Palm WebOS, which was adopted the same time as Resource Focus. Unfortunately no one uses either now.

TEC use Blackberry. A completely archaic OS used by early members of the trade federation to old now to learn new technology. These of course are the same people who insist on continuing with the use of freighters for Battleships despite the advancements in Titan technology.

Vasari use those gay little bluetooth earpieces that used to look cool ten years ago. Now I just sorta feel bad when you come across a Vasari Captain sipping on his apple juice talking to his imaginary friend. The phones probably some pre-paid one off OS they got heavily discounted.
