Well they might be able to slow it down but they won't stop it. I live in Romania and in 89' we had our own anti-revolution. Back then all they had was Radio Free Europe to keep hope alive. From our perspective today controlling the internet is a huge setback for freedom but I am sure my parents would of seen huge possibilities if they had it 20 years ago.
Blah keep your pants on... it's a technical preview !!! Tho whole point of them releasing the code and making it open source is so that people can find these bugs before it even gets close to a testing final release. This is just another case of corporate rats not understanding open source software development.
I don't like this kind of articles... I mean the kind that make a big deal out of nothing...
Well it's not exactly nothing but I think it's at least exaggerated: all new technologies are not really compatible at some stage.. Of course all the cell phone manufacturers will agree on some compatibility issues as soon as they realize they need to... But for now they don't because linux is still "emerging" on this market and each company is pushing forward it's own things.. It's all a competition and this is good because in the end only the best implementations will be supported. Until then they can all mature independently with no interference.
On the other hand I don't think linux can "lose" the embedded market...The flexibility that open source offers is a huge advantage over any proprietary software that can't be overlooked just because of by bad timing..

I bet you're wrong. Does "release early release often" ring any bells ?
