Intel Developer Forum offers Linux training
,----[ Quote ]
| ATTENDEES OF THE INTEL Developer Forum will be able to get substantial
| discounts for any of three certifications in Linux, but anyone looking to
| obtain similar qualifications for the Windows platform will have to go

| clear message to the Open Source community.

Intel Backstabs Microsoft by Abandoning Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| The news that Intel has decided it won't upgrade its PCs to Vista must be
| especially bitter for Microsoft because court documents show that Microsoft
| may have launched its ill-fated "junk PC" Vista scheme at the behest of
| Intel. Is this the kind of payback that Microsoft expected?

Intel won't touch Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| So that leaves two other choices, Linux and Mac. Linux is a distinct
| possibility, they already have an in-house distro that causes employees look
| nervously around the room when you talk about it. Although it is not a
| desktop variant, there is no reason that they could not roll one given two
| years.
