Yes. ARM is great technology, but MS and Intel are workign together to keep
out Linux. Intel's latest chip was made specifically for W8 and can't run
on Linux according to Intel. MS's secure boot EUFI will allow Linux to run
on Intel x86 chips, but their agreements with OEMS on ARM specifically
prohibit changing the bootloader.
This is bad news for Linux on servers where ARM may be the best deployment,
although many are now saying Atom is better. :)
