Just what we need a Linux distro who's main goal is apparently to promote Intel products. The language used to describe it makes this quite clear. "The goal of Clear Linux OS, is to showcase the best of Intel Architecture technology...". This is a blatent attempt to exclude ARM who is gaining Linux market share. Whatever innovation they might bring to the table, I will avoid it purely on the basis that its aim is to benefit Intel rather than the user. Dot org my ass.

The site is weak but you should check the LWN link given in this thread. They have done some cool stuff actually.
I don't think they really expect you to want to use it directly. As it says, it's a showcase. But a lot of the technology might make it into other distros in more generic forms.
Not the first time Intel does this.

Moblin was started because MS balked at making Windows for a Intel chip that didn't offer PCI enumeration.
