For example, app development - virtual machines running Android are dreadfully slow and cumbersome to use.

Also, Linux doesn't have many apps and small games. For example, if this works, Linux users can run Word and Excel, as well as Angry Birds.

In current state it will probably crash on more complex stuff.

In two years if there's no widespread adoption it will still crash because it's just another potential platform for QA to test on.

Also if I'm not mistaken it will only run apps that are compiled for x86 Android.

I can tell you haven't used the new emulator in some time. It's just as fast as the iOS simulator.
