[sf-lug] [Fwd:Dell has dragged the Linux-ARM Trojan horse inside the Wintel PC]

[jim]

wow! thanks for the info. 

   whatever happened to the linux bios effort? 

   i recently read something to the effect that the 
increase in handheld systems (e.g. cellphones and 
their kin) don't work well with big software such as 
windows but do with more scaleable software such as 
linux.

This subsystem is separate to the main Windows Vista or Windows XP operating system running on an Intel Core2 Duo processor. In theory, users can do email and other light applications under Linux, Mozilla and so on, and only need switch to the Windows operating system and the Intel processor for the heavier applications."
