Intel’s Meego OS to Reach Mainstream Laptops

“Intel is developing an edition of the Linux-based Meego OS that
will work on mainstream laptops and desktops, a company executive
said this week.

“The chip maker released the first editions of Meego to
developers in late March. One edition was for netbooks running on
Intel’s Atom chips, and another was for Nokia’s N900 smartphone.
Beyond netbooks and smartphones, the company is also focusing Meego
development around entry-level desktops with Intel’s Atom
processors, said Doug Fisher, vice president of the software and
services group at Intel, in an interview this week.

“The company plans to release an edition of Meego for
entry-level desktops that will also work with mainstream laptops
and desktops running on Intel’s faster Core processors, Fisher
said. He did not provide a specific release date for the Meego
desktop edition.”
