Microsoft got some more bad news today: Intel is porting Android 2.2,
n�e Froyo, to the x86 architecture.

"Our expectation is that [native x86 Android] will be based on the Froyo
release and will be available this summer to developers," no lesser
light than Renee James, Intel's software and services head honchette,
told APC on Thursday.

In the main, Microsoft has owned the Intel Atom�based netbook market
(sorry, Linux-lovers), while Google's Android has found success in the
ARM processor�based smartphone market. But with an x86 Froyo on tap,
Android could make inroads into the established netbook market as well
as the nascent tablet market.
