Remarks by Nobuyuki Denda, president of Intel KK of Japan, in an
interview with AsiaBizTech.

“BizTech: Next, I’d like to ask about operating systems. Intel
Corp. is strengthening its orientation toward UNIX, having bought
into the Linux distributor, Red Hat Software Inc.”

“Denda: Internet service providers, for example, are very
interested in combining the x86 architecture with Linux, or the x86
with Solaris.”

“We are willing to provide solid support for Linux and Solaris.
For Linux, we aim to finalize our support policy in Japan by March.
I don’t know if the policy will be released publicly.”
