I asked for an example, to which you provided a CPU. Then I showed that Intel do make Linux-compatible motherboards. But please, do carry on with your delusion that you're the All-Knowing Of Linux Motherboards.
So by your logic, let's all blame (for example) MSI instead of Intel. While we're at it, shall we also blame Google for Apple Maps?
Also, a bit of advice: so you don't have to listen to the ravings of someone who knows what they're talking about, why not click that little white pearl next to my UID, and turning it red? Then you'll never have to worry about me trivially dismantling your every argument ever again.
Technically, there is no reason that a user can not wipe out Windows 8 and install a Linux distribution on the tablet. The issue is that Clover Trail is packed to the brim with power saving features, very few of which will work when using a Linux-based operating system
Bolded the parts you obviously missed because you were too obsessed with your FUD.

Win7 has extended support till 2020, by which time we'll be on Windows 10 or 11.
Pneumatic ones that can function without any air pressure even.
I'm seriously starting to doubt that you know what the word "pneumatic" means.
Or he's talking about run-flat tyres.
Looking at the filter choices, that site doesn't include mobile browsers. Yet it includes AIX.
Still, for ballpark figures, it's useful.
Do you have a spare few hundred thousand dollars?
Why is only the crazies that stick out with any group?
Because they're noisy.

Silverlight is used for precisely one website
Wrong! It's used for at least two ;)
Disclaimer: I work for a company that makes a Silverlight-based website.
And flash is near death anyway.
Flash has ~95% penetration. Saying it's dead is like saying the Empire State Building is three feet tall.
Why shouldn't being offensive be a crime?
Because of the drastic limitations on free speech such a law would create.
In real terms, the Queen has less power than a broken toaster. The true power lies in the Palace of Westminster and Whitehall.
Of course you can. You'll then be arrested for inciting panic/disturbing the peace.
Since your humour detector is malfunctioning, I'll send round a service engineer within 24 hours.

Or 112, which is the EU/EEA-wide equivalent.
Pocket money isn't income? :)
Cellular telephone?
Nah, they'd just move the call centres to India.

Anyway, this is my stop - have fun in the loop :)
And you're still confusing the CPU with the motherboard.
Again, from the very article you linked to:
there is no reason that a user can not wipe out Windows 8 and install a Linux distribution on the tablet
Looks to me like that motherboard and CPU can run Linux.
I asked for an example, to which you provided a CPU. Then I showed that Intel do make Linux-compatible motherboards. But please, do carry on with your delusion that you're the All-Knowing Of Linux Motherboards.
First, when did I say all motherboards have reasonable drivers?
Second, Intel does make motherboards that support Linux.
So by your logic, let's all blame (for example) MSI instead of Intel. While we're at it, shall we also blame Google for Apple Maps?
Also, a bit of advice: so you don't have to listen to the ravings of someone who knows what they're talking about, why not click that little white pearl next to my UID, and turning it red? Then you'll never have to worry about me trivially dismantling your every argument ever again.
And again you confuse the CPU with the motherboard. And as before, you've disproved your own point - the motherboard can clearly run Linux on it.

Anyone else concerned that Ender only gets 5th billing, whereas Valentine is in 2nd pos...? Hmmm...
No, as there's no numbering in the article ;)
Go on then - point me to a motherboard that doesn't work under Linux or BSD. I'll wait.
