Intel talks Linux, Netbooks

There are certain operating-system vendors who take Moblin completely as is and use it, and add customization and provide support, and there are those who take various technologies from Moblin and incorporate them into their own operating systems--although, when people do that, they tend to focus on the user experience.
When you hear, for example, Novell is taking Moblin or Ubuntu is doing Ubuntu Moblin, they are using the operating-system infrastructure and taking the Moblin user experience, which is a set of applications--the 3D infrastructure and a set of libraries, infrastructure components like the social networking, media management, and so on. Essentially, from a technical standpoint, you end up with the same thing, but for the OS vendors it is sometimes easier to use a distribution system that they already use. We made it easy for them to use that.
It's still in beta--right now we're in the very final phase. Very minor but critical bug fixes are being done based on input from OEMs and OS vendors. We don't want to call it a release until someone actually ships a product with it.
"This is a bit of self-criticism of what we've done in Linux over the past years--we in Linux have got to stop writing clones of the OSs from 15 years ago." The final version will be available for download over the next couple of weeks. Once that happens, we will go on a regular cadence of a release every six months...to make it easy for people to be able to have predictability in terms of time schedules.
There are a lot of things that we've done with Moblin that are fairly cutting-edge, such as social-networking integration. We created the infrastructure that lets you very easily integrate streams from all the social networks with simple (application programming interfaces) and then be able to allow the user, in an integrated way, to update their status and so on. Moblin also boots in five seconds. It's things like this--we look at things from a user experience perspective, then we build all the plumbing, such as the kernel and adding libraries and 3D infrastructure.
This is a bit of self-criticism of what we've done in Linux over the past years--we in Linux have got to stop writing clones of the OSs from 15 years ago. People want to use these devices as an Internet-media, social-networking consumption device, and this is what we've focused a great deal on, to provide those capabilities in an easy way to use while at the same time maintaining the traditional PC compatibility and consistency.
