Intel Ports Linux Netbook OS to Desktops (PCWorld)

[Posted September 24, 2009 by cook]

PCWorld covers Intel's porting of Moblin to the desktop space. "Intel has expanded the scope of Linux-based Moblin by porting the OS from netbooks to mobile devices and desktops, where it could compete with Microsoft's Windows OS. The company introduced a beta version of Moblin 2.1 at the Intel Developer Forum being held in San Francisco. The new version of the OS now builds in capabilities like native touchscreen input and gesture support, new user interface features, and support for more hardware drivers. It also includes incremental upgrades that expand the usability of the OS."

Bit of a misguided title... "nettops" not "desktops".
