The Register: Linux could pip other OSes to Merced post

"It was no coincidence that Intel showed off Linux Apache running on Merced at its recent Developer Forum, although Microsoft managed to squeeze in with a demo which, unfortunately, ended up with an error message."

"Information we received just before IDF suggested that teams of engineers were working flat out to make Win64 run on Intel silicon, while Linux was performing as sweet as a nut."

"Linux is doing qell [sic] because HP engineers started to port the Linux kernel from day one."

"Again, debugging of Linux is said to be both fast and parallel, because of the large number of people involved."
