Intel is pushing the Clover Trail Chip into tablets, a category of devices that is dominated by Linux based Android and the Unix BSD based IOS, giving clearly Microsoft the lead it needs in the post PC tablet era.

Many developers on the web are opposing the decision Intel has made and are claiming that can run Linux after all it is an x86 based architecture and are threatening Intel in terms of creating a mass anti-movement.
