ARM being the future..not quite 

A lot of the Linux community seems to have bought in to Linus saying that ARM is the future. Um..not quite.

A big stumbling block is that all software needs to be rebuilt for ARM. I doubt someone like Microsoft would do it without going EEE on it. It's part of the company's DNA, as far as I know.

That's not to say that ARM has no use whatsoever. For low power and cheap systems, like Nettops, and low power servers, it can work very well! (Raspberry Pis used for servers are proof of that.)

So, ARM still has a place, and a future. Will it take over X86? I don't think so. Will it replace it in certain areas? Certainly! I argue that's the point of ARM.

Not to mention that ARM was created by a transwoman..really! Look it up!
