“With a single click, Intel chairman Andy Grove on Tuesday gave
Linux aficionados new ammunition for their war on Microsoft.”
“Grove told attendees that the chip giant has run eight
operating systems on a simulation of its next generation Merced
processor, known as the IA-64. One of those eight was the upstart
Linux.”
“We are working hard with the IA-64 — we think of it as the
future engine for e-commerce,” Grove told attendees here at the
Linuxworld Conference and Expo.”
