Will be interesting to see how different Moblin based platforms with different adherence levels to the architecture actually performs on real world scenarios.

I hadn't heard of Moblin until recently (actually, until I discovered this article), but as I understand things:

1) Moblin is standard open-source software, which means any vendor can use as much of the code as they want without "certifying" themselves. If certification were to be used for anything, it would be the use of the name, but that would also be pointless since the name is not being marketed towards consumers.

2) I'm also not sure what you mean by "different adherence to the Moblin platform". Moblin is a single platform that is independent of the underlying Linux layer.

If you use it, it adheres. Unless you're talking about forking...Edited 2008-10-28 00:11 UTC Mon, 27 Oct 2008 23:55:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Moochman) Comments
