Intel Makes Moves in Mobility
,----[ Quote ]
| When I first saw Moblin, I really questioned Intel's
| ability to create a dedicated OS for small devices. The
| folks at Intel told me that they felt it was strategic
| for them and would go a long way to providing a
| specialized OS just for x86-based handhelds in the
| future.

No Longer an IBM Partner, Randr Navigates the Open Source Track
,----[ Quote ]
| You don't need an expert economist to see that the
| AS/400 midrange market is not what it used to be. A once
| thriving market, it's now maybe a tenth of its previous
| size, and more resellers and software vendors leave
| every day. One of the former IBM AS/400 business
| partners that has evolved its business plan to suit the
| times is Randr, Inc., which has made a clean break with
| the traditional midrange, and moved to open source
| software.

Why Microsoft won't fight moblin
,----[ Quote ]
| Moblin is the solution to the problem of Intel:
| providing a free, lightweight and powerful OS to sell
| cheaper netbooks and devices. This allows Microsoft to
| get out of the "bargain basement OS" market and to
| focus on a more expensive, higher end market with
| Windows 7. The differentiation between both OS is
| large enough to ensure that most people won't buy a
| Moblin device to replace their computer but to
| complement it. It suits Microsoft better if consumer
| purchase a Windows 7 desktop AND a Moblin netbook than
| if their purchase only a cheap Windows XP netbook.
