Can Open Source Save Hardware?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the envelopes-that-need-pushing dept.

Culexus writes "Tom's Hardware has a interesting story about Open Source saving the hardware industry. Pretty good read all in all. Hopefully chip makers and vendors won't have to bend to the iron might of Microsoft any longer." Some good comments on how early-adopters and enthusiasts are being marginalized by the industry, too.

    I've just read the article 3 times and I have to ask; what part of it deals with open source? It's a TH article for christ sakes....are you slashdot editors just reading tag lines now?

    Look guys, not everything MS does is an attack on open source. OS might be a threat, but it's hardly their only threat.
