It always gets me when someone rants about 'fragmentation' and then mentions Windows as if it isn't an example of it. It's the BEST example of it. They forget how many versions of Windows there are, and how hard it used to be to get programs to work on different hardware, even though Windows itself was the same exact version.

Android is facing the same problem. Even on the Web, we have to deal with differences in each browser.

However, I'd argue that fragmentation within a platform (like Android or Windows) is less of an issue for developers than having to deal with 3 or 4 vastly different platforms.
