●● Wind River Acquired by Convicted Criminal Organisation

Summary: Wind River, a Linux vendor in part, gets bought by a vicious company that bribes, extorts, and then destroys evidence

INTEL is buying Wind River. It is already trying to suck up to GNU/Linux users* and make them forget its many attacks and continuous suppression not only of rival chipmakers but GNU/Linux too. Intel resorted to crime in the process, with convictions in several continents to confirm this independently after many years of thorough investigation. But there are other serious ramifications.

“Those two companies are already collaborating on systems in automobiles.”“This acquisition would be severe conflict of interest. Very little embedded systems are, or for that matter should be, developed for x86,” writes one of our readers.

“Look at the netbook problems, OLPC for example. Or look at power consumption. x86 use more than one watt. ARM-based units use a fraction of that. You can find even camcorders that use 0.4 watts.

“The embedded systems market would do infinitely better to keep Wind River far away from Wintel,” he concludes.

Those two companies are already collaborating on systems in automobiles. It’s just about landgrab for Intel and it is sad to see a criminal company gaining strength while swallowing a large (and ever-growing) Linux distributor. █
