Comments on: Intel shuns Microsoft, taps Linux for mobile Net devices

Chipmaker's software initiative for mobile devices is all about Linux. Microsoft is given little more than lip service.

Great Article. Collectively Intel execs never had a pair between them when it came to designing out MS. Just knew it would be Anand who would be first to step up! Wouldn't have expected anything less from the orignial chief of Centrino. This device coupled with WiMax will be a winner. Good job Intel!

it all starts with mid gentlemen this is the start of a new linux era
where people see linux as a viable option and geeks become computer gods

With the memory hog/bloated OS from Microsoft. Linux is the most viable option for a MID device. I run Xubuntu on my "older" laptop and it's more reliable than the newer one running Vista. with other computer manufactures, the cost of these devices will surely drop to around $199 or less.
