nerdyH writes "Canonical will port Ubuntu Desktop Linux to the ARMv7 architecture. The announcement sets the stage for Intel to lose the traditional "software advantage" that has enabled x86 to shrug off attacks from other architectures for the last 30 years. How long can it be before Microsoft responds with a Windows 7 port? I mean, x86 just can't do "idle power" like ARM... Nokia's N810 tablets can standby for several weeks, just like a cell phone, keeping you "present" on IM, behind IPv4 NAT the whole time. The first Atom MIDs are standing by for 6-7 hours."
