Wouldn't it be easier for Intel to heavily modify the linus kernel instead of writing their own stack?

They could even go as far as writing the sleep utilities for laptops, or even their own window manager to take advantage of the specific mods in the ISA?

Intel was working with Nokia to heavily invest into Meego OS until it was killed by Elop+Microsoft.

If it hadn't been killed, it may have become something interesting today.
