Intel CEO Paul Otellini (pictured) reportedly told the Associated Press that Linux will dominate sales of mobile Internet devices (MIDs). Meanwhile, ABI Research predicts that by 2013, Linux will outsell Windows by two to one in the combined market for MIDs, netbooks, and UMPCs.
The Associated Press interview represented another strategic and incremental shift for Intel away from its long-time partnership with Microsoft, said USA Today. According to the publication's account, the Intel CEO told the Associated Press that MID activity will be "centered around Linux."
