Intel has ARM in its crosshairs

,----[ Quote ]
| And that's one area where Intel thinks it has an advantage, given the 
| powerful software already available for Windows and Linux PCs. Linux, 
| especially, will be an important part of Intel's strategy.  
| 
| The first UMPCs were designed in cooperation with Microsoft, with plans to 
| run Windows XP and Windows Vista. But since the Spring IDF in Beijing, Intel 
| has been gradually backing away from its long-time partner to tout 
| Linux-based operating systems for MIDs.
