Interview with Intel's Pankaj Kedia at Computex 2009 (c|net)
Why is Intel focusing on the Moblin OS rather than MS' Windows OS for its Atom and Moorestown platforms? Kedai: I think association of the Intel chipset and MS Windows OS is the best thing that differentiates with ARM-based Netbooks and MIDs which getting the spotlight during Computex 2009, such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon and Nvidia's Tegra-based Netbooks and MIDs. All those devices are based on the Android or Linux operation systems because of cost-efficiency issues but also because of lack of support from Microsoft. (This was also confirmed by Steve Guggenheimer, Microsoft's corporate VP for original equipment manufacturers during his interview at Computex)."
