Windows 7 Wonât Support ARM Processors Anytime Soon [Microsoft Still Plays Ball with Intel, Forgets About ARM CPUs]

| Whatâs interesting is that ARM processors
| are already used extensively in consumer
| electronics, and that includes PDAs, mobile
| phones, digital media, music players, and
| many more other, but still not getting any
| Microsoft love right now, which could be
| because the company is more focused on
| desktop computers, laptops and netbooks as
| their main market.

| Fedora is Red Hat's community Linux
| distribution and it's a winner. That said,
| it's a cutting edge distribution. You'll
| find new features in the forthcoming Fedora
| 12, like kernel memory management via KSM
| KSM (kernel samepage merging) that are may
| be a little too bleeding edge for some
| users. I like Fedora, but its target
| audience is Linux experts, not Linux
| newcomers.
