Merced silicon happens: Linux runs, NT doesn't

Reliable sources close to Intel's plans say that the company has produced first silicon samples of the processor in its fabrication plants.

But while the news may be good for Intel, Microsoft is already gnashing its teeth.

Because the Linux operating system is already running on the silicon while Microsoft's Win64 software won't.

Microsoft Redmond has drafted in armies of developers in an attempt to sort out the embarrassing fact, the sources said.

Intel has always said it is software agnostic, but actually will use any grist to make its chip mill run the faster. ®
