Gateway picks Transmeta processors

NEW YORK (AP) - Gateway Inc. has chosen upstart chipmaker Transmeta to power two new devices for Internet access, dealing a blow to the combined rule of Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp. in personal computing.

The San Diego, Calif.-based computer manufacturer also said Tuesday it will use a version of the Linux operating system developed by Transmeta in the devices, the first of which should be on sale this holiday season.

A Transmeta-Linux combination offers consumers an alternative to the combination of computers with Intel processors running on Microsoft's Windows operating system, analysts said. ''The technology Transmeta has is very important, and it's the first one we've seen in a long time that seriously challenges the Wintel duopoly,'' said Tim Bajarin, president of consulting firm Creative Strategies Research International.
