There is a very clear difference. One is official and the other isn't. One requires the installation of an entire OS, the other doesn't. One is to add an entire ecosystem, the other is already using an ecosystem that is made for the platform.
Downloading and installing a leak is not the same thing as downloading and installing an app. To say that is the exact same thing is complete misinformation.
That's not quite where I was going with that, I should have explained it better. You and I have both seen instances where, in order to get one or two additional options, people have been told told to install an entire OS. And it's done just as someone would tell another to get X app. Basically, thus: hey I want to be able to do that! OK, go here, click this, download and install this app/OS, have a ball.

Now, an honest question - what web browser do you use on your Windows computer?

IE11 and Chrome for me, depends on what I want to do. I did my homework.

Android is a disaster, google is a disaster, chrome is a disaster. I have used the products extensively and they are nothing but free products that mine you for information. The whole android platform does this. Abundance of free apps where every single app needs access to your call log, email, SMS, calendar, contacts, Internet access.
I'm not judging you for what you use, I just realize this for my self and have stopped.
I'll continue using Internet Explorer since it meets my needs and so does blackberry.

I support usage of IE9 and newer; however I disagree with your assessment of Android. I'm not going to belittle your opinion as that would be insulting, and I wouldn't want anyone putting down my choice of anything just because they don't agree with me. I've used BBOS, BB10, iOS, Android, and played with a friend's WP7; there's little and big parts that I would love nothing more than to be able to combine for an even better mobile experience than what I'd get from each on their own. BB10's file manager is great that it's native - native for me is best because that means not only minimizing what or who the 3rd party is accessing my data but more importantly it's less extra code being added to the system. And while I know in this day and age coders are vastly improved and do better work with better tools, I still have flashbacks to when merely thinking about installing something could crash a system.

And I do, after I open an eye and see there's no errors or nuclear meltdowns after I install something. =))
