Linux support and cheap chips

I know Sun is wroking hard to bring Red Hat support ATM. How is that working? How can these new chips be used cheaply for the desktop.

Also why is Intel so anti-open source it seems?What's wrong with a fluid Thin Client? http://news.com.com/Intel+calls+MITs+100+laptop+a+gadget/2100-1005_3-5989067.ht ml?tag=newsmap

The beauty of Niagara is for applications which are thread-rich and can get the benefit from the low power & high performance for many threads acting upon a problem.In the desktop you might envision Niagara derivatives which use smaller die size and hit a design point which maximizes a performance design point for desktop apps while simultaneously minimizing the cost . You could also envision looking at the appropriate IO for the desktop and integrating it onto this new SOC. There are lots of possibilities here.
