At 50 Million Units Per Annum in 2013, Linux Will Take Lion's Share of MID
Market, According to ABI Research

,----[ Quote ]
| The Mobile Internet Devices (MID) market is likely to be the first real 
| example of a greenfield situation in which all mobile operating systems start 
| on the same equal footing, without the baggage of previous histories such as 
| existed in the smartphone market. The Linux OS, in the form of Moblin, LiMo 
| and Maemo, looks ready to take the lion's share of the MID market and is set 
| to capture unit volumes of 50 millions units per annum in 2013.

Intel Backstabs Microsoft by Abandoning Vista

,----[ Quote ]
| The news that Intel has decided it won't upgrade its PCs to Vista must be
| especially bitter for Microsoft because court documents show that Microsoft
| may have launched its ill-fated "junk PC" Vista scheme at the behest of
| Intel. Is this the kind of payback that Microsoft expected?

Intel won't touch Vista

,----[ Quote ]
| So that leaves two other choices, Linux and Mac. Linux is a distinct
| possibility, they already have an in-house distro that causes employees look
| nervously around the room when you talk about it. Although it is not a
| desktop variant, there is no reason that they could not roll one given two
| years.
