tlug: Could Wintel become Lintel

[Sean Bennett <sean@example.com>]

Here's a news piece today on the upcomming Intel Xeon processor, and
what it could do for unix.

Between stories like this, IBM's recent support for Apache, the the
explosion of Linux in recent years, and Microsoft's troubles of late, I
wonder where how Lin/Unix and Windows will stackup against each other in
the next 2 to 5 years.

...they say that Windows 3.1 was just a background project hanging off
the corner of a Microsoft bulletin board which unexpectedly took off;
...and that Linux Penguin seems to have mass-market-appeal potential,
though maybe I've been around Japanese animae for too long ;-)
