摘要：Linaro（致力于为ARM架构开发开源软件的非盈利性组织）完全可以“控制基于ARM的智能终端和笔记本电脑的很大部分的生产，”评论员Robert Pogson表示。事实上，它可能是对Wintel模式的一个巨大挑战。目前已经有相当多的由OEM预装了GNU/Linux系统的x86 PC，然而有更多的基于ARM的机器在出货。没有理由GNU/Linux不能预装在基于ARM的设备上。“

Linaro could "take hold of the huge production of ARMed smart thingies and laptops," suggested blogger Robert Pogson. In fact, "it may be a great end-around play against Wintel. There are quite a number of x86 PCs with OEM-installed GNU/Linux, but there are many more ARMed machines being shipped. There is no reason in the world that GNU/Linux could not come pre-installed on ARMed devices."
'More Free and Open'
Nevertheless, "one of the advantages of working with a FOSS system is that if you think Linux would work better on your preferred platform, you can do it yourself or pay to have it done without having to wait for an OS vendor to decide for you," consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack pointed out.
Indeed, "perhaps this is the way to go to GNU/Linux," Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol agreed.
"I mean, it's a more free and open environment to GNU/Linux, not restrained by two big evil companies (Microsoft and Intel)," he pointed out. "So, GNU/Linux on ARM can blossom and evolve much more than in the x86 world." ......
