Intel develops simpler alternative to ACPI for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| A few days ago, version 4.0 of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
| (ACPI) specification was released, weighing in at a hefty 727 pages. Lead by
| Intel, PC manufacturers as well as operating system, driver, BIOS, firmware
| and software developers have, for more than a decade, been working on this
| specification, which is designed to enhance the configuration management and
| power saving features of computer hardware. Despite this, there are still
| flaws in many implementations.

| Subject: ACPI extensions
|
| One thing I find myself wondering about is whether we shouldn't try
| and make the "ACPI" extensions som
|
| It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the
| work and the results is that Linux...
|
| Maybe there is no way to avoid this problem but it does bother me.
|
| Maybe we could define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not
| the others even if they are open.
|
| Or maybe we could patent something related to this.
