My French is not great, but which line there translates to Clover Trail+ being Linux-only? (Perhaps it will support Linux but I don't read the article as suggesting even that -- whereas it does suggest that it will support Windows8.)

My French should be adequate for this. The article (when I visited it) only mentions that the chips are probably aiming to exploit the release of Windows 8. It says nothing about either chip being specific for an operating system, but the slides indicate that clover trail will be for tablets and clover trail+ will be for smartphones.

Exactly, it doesn't. (BTW, I'm French)
