Merced is being "pre-developed" under and NDA+cash, and Linux can live like
that. PC98 is IIRC, a MS/Intel spearheaded spiel that is another closed
architecture. Then there's Slot 1/2, and other such stuff.
So the question is this:
I run Linux, Linux us all that matters AFA OSes go, to me. If the major
computer companies can afford to license and develop for these closed
architectures, and MS Windows is the only real thing that matters in the
"business"[1] world, is Linux going to run on these architectures, or are
the manufacturers going to have to open the architectures?
[1]. The business world is corporate america that's already firmly entrenched
in using the OS/programs from the dark side.
