To quote from the last one:

Most failures on enterprise systems are due to driver problems,
industry representatives heard at the Intel Developer Forum in
Palm Springs Wednesday. "Driver reliability is the smoking gun
keeping Unix on Intel servers out of the enterprise," said Intel's
Justin Rattner during a server technology seminar where the
Linux community was identified as a source of help for the
mighty chip maker.

Kevin Quick, chairman of Project UDI, added that the initiative
will let OS vendors work on core issues on OC content rather
than having to concentrate on hardware issues. "Now, companies
such as SCO have artificial restrictions placed on them," he said.
"A vendor may have drivers for most PCI devices, but perhaps not
for Gigabit Ethernet, and so they'll lose the sale - the customer
will have to go elsewhere."

The bottomline for Intel is money.
No surprise there. ;-)
