Intel also did Moblin/Linux drivers and that does not mean they are ditching Windows (nor MacOS).
X86 Android is especially interesting for them as it can open a line of attack on ARM as almost all Android devices are currently using ARM.

Wow, big leap. Especially since Intel has long been OS agnostic. Saying that they will do a port for their own processor of another platform (BTW, it is the same OS for MeeGo and for Android) is just more the same from Intel. When Intel fires the staff they are paying to work on MeeGo, then I will believe they are ditching MeeGo.
Since we are going to make wild assumptions, I am going to say that since Intel is going to port Android to x86 it indicates that Intel is going to give me a pony. *closes eyes and crosses fingers*

Yeah... Intel will officially preview MeeGo, then 2 weeks later will ditch it for Android...
Intel sells hardware, remember? It will put whatever OS on it that will help the sales. Android is just one of them.

Specifically Intel sells chips (among other things.. I don't think they sell full hardware units). So anything that helps their sales they'll work with.
More Android devices using X86 chips = more profit for Intel.
More Meego devices using X86 chips = more profit for Intel
More (insert name here) devices using X86 chips = more profit for Intel

If it's in bits, it's no longer a pony?

if intel are merely supplying the hardware its no real problem having them sleep around behind meego's back, infact since a lot of the problems porting games etc to n900 seem to arise from the x86 > arm translation/emulation/jiggery-pokery then a compatible processor across platforms may just work in our favour, no?
