Ok, I'm going to take this subject by the horns and ask/address it now.
Merced is being "pre-developed" under and NDA+cash, and Linux can live like that. PC98 is IIRC, a MS/Intel spearheaded spiel that is another closed architecture. Then there's Slot 1/2, and other such stuff.
So the question is this:
I run Linux, Linux us all that matters AFA OSes go, to me. If the major computer companies can afford to license and develop for these closed architectures, and MS Windows is the only real thing that matters in the "business"[1] world, is Linux going to run on these architectures, or are the manufacturers going to have to open the architectures?
[1]. The business world is corporate america that's already firmly entrenched in using the OS/programs from the dark side.
