Intel has announced that it would adopt linux based Moblin as the operating system for netbooks and other internet appliances. Notably absent is their counterpart, Microsoft. Intel is using Apple as their alliance part for major technologies like ultra-thin laptop processors etc. what does these two entail? It is losing its thoughtleadership position.
Microsoft is slowly but surely getting pushed out or getting cornered from both Apple at the top end of the market and linux from the bottom end of the market. With Enterprise Market also heading towards Open Source Technology Stacks, are the current trends indicating a market shakeup?
What is the most exciting part of moblin and other linux based OS is that it would open up new markets for country specific oS at least for the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China). There would also be country specific OS coming up in European countries.
