Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the red-rover-red-rover-send-another-company-over dept.

Red Hat and Intel announced today at LinuxWorld Boston that they would be entering a partnership to help customers "plan for, accelerate and optimize their deployments of Linux solutions." From the article: "'We're responding to what customers have told us they really need to support their advanced deployments of Linux and open source,' said Tim Yeaton, executive vice president of Enterprise Solutions at Red Hat. 'The programs Intel and Red Hat have selected are aimed at equipping customers with in-depth domain knowledge and providing hard core data to make complex architectural decisions.'"

    FTA:
    Proof of Concept Support: Customers can save time and resources by running proof of concepts using the state-of-the-art hardware, software and technical support offered at the program centers. Customers will be invited to actively participate at the local centers.
    So... when the customers are done with their proofs of concept, will they then build out their apps on the AMD boxes in their own datacenters?

    In the next version of RedHat, users without a DuoCore Intel processor will be unable to open more than 2 tabs in firefox due to their inferior hardware.

    Is it me, or dooes something sound Verrrrrrrrry Messed up about the arrangement? Consider this, (if I am wrong I will stand corrected)
    isn't microsoft like one of Intel's bigger if not the biggest partner? If this is the case, considering that a majority of the Intel Bauxes run Windows in some way/shape/oor form? With that being said, doesn't seem weird that Intel would be flirting with a MAJOR Competitor like RH?? Or just Linux in general be it Red hat, V/A, Gentoo, Etc.... This kinda smells like an SCO Snafu in some way.. If I were Microsopht, and I heard this news I would be Trippin! In some way, shape or form. But alas, All I can hear is an article about MS Pitchin a b(Bleep)(female dog)about People like Dell and others in the PC Business selling their machines without any OS, meaning Microsopht wont get Anything out of it, which is a concern to a company that is used to Domination of the specific industry in which it resides..
    Either way, I am naught gunnnnna bore ya with more BS.. Just this one last parting comment..
    THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT,
    From my limited perspective Something is gunna Go crazy Quick, and beleive me I can't see it benefitting the OpenSource movement if in fact I am correct, and something is gunna blow-up in someone's face..
    Just a thought..
