Got this in the news this morning:
"Intel opts for Linux over Windows for Web devices
(Silicon.com)- Intel burned more bridges with Microsoft as
it announced plans to base a range of Internet access products around
Linux rather than Windows. The chip giant will develop Web appliances,
using its Celeron processor, which will enable home users to access the
Internet without needing a PC. The company said its decision to use
open source was driven by the needs of customers who helped develop the
products so far, with cost and flexibility being the key factors. Rob
Hailstone, research director at Bloor Research, believes the move could
put pressure on the alliance between Microsoft and Intel: "There is a limited
future for the Wintel alliance." See http://www.silicon.com/a34907 "
Haven't been able to follow the link though 'cos our proxies here are
shagged.
