What's in it for Intel?What's in it for Intel?Posted Dec 29, 2008 8:35 UTC (Mon) by nim-nim (subscriber, #34454)In reply to: What's in it for Intel? by sbishop Parent article: Alan Cox is moving on from Red Hat
Intel and Microsoft are in here for the money and Microsoft has shown little hesitation in the past to kill Intel projects by not supporting them in Windows when it felt they didn't align with its strategy.
OTOH AMD's x86-64 succeeded in part thanks to 64bit support by Linux server-side years before Windows was ready.
For a hardware manufacturer good Linux support is insurance its new hardware won't be killed due to lack of interest Microsoft-side.
