Another perspective; x86 became the "standard" because it was developed 
*for* Microsoft.  I think the two go hand in hand.  Linux is pretty much 
universal - runs on virtually anything.  Linux performs better on most 
"alternative" (non-x86) hardware.  I think most other OS's would too. 
Microsoft Windows is one of the only OS's in existence that relies 
totally on x86 - everybody else has their own hardware platform for 
their operating system.

Just for giggles, take a look at Terra Soft's new MB that will be 
available in January:
