Why GNU/Linux Is and Isn't like Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| For example, the mainstream Windows code (not the quite different versions
| like Windows CE ) is essentially bound up with the Intel chip architecture
| (once upon a time, there was a version of Windows for MIPS, but that was
| taken out to the back and shot in 1996). GNU/Linux, by contrast, has been
| ported to dozens of platforms (I wondered whether we're up to the hundred
| mark, yet?)
