Ahem...I think you've got something backwards. upstart was released before systemd. (In fact, one of the Canonical devs said "Heh. Our turn to pull a systemd.") Or if you're referring to sysvinit, that does have its limits. Not to say that I'm giving up on the sysv-style init, though!
"Darwin Streaming Server (DSS) is an open source project intended for developers who need to stream QuickTime and MPEG-4 media on alternative platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Solaris, or those developers who need to extend and/or modify the existing streaming server code to fit their needs."
Cheeky of them calling Windows an "alternative platform, yes; but the fact is that there are too many howtos for setting it up on Linux for anyone who can type "darwin streaming server linux" into a search engine to miss.
Not to say that he isn't cherrypicking, but... Samsung is primarily making non-windows phones and devices. Blackberry had some sort of agreement with MS, I believe primarily related to Exchange compatability. HTC makes a mix of windows and android phones.
The points you mention don't refute him as well as you hoped.
