From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there anything to support this? I couldn't find anything that really has this intend documented and Intel weren't the only on pushing for usb as the most simple protocol possible ( I recall a lot of excitement about the "u" part.. How naive at least I was back then!).
I'm not knowledgeable enough to really argue against it, looking simply from an Okham point of view as "they wanted everything to connect" - the printer in the same way as that PDA.... Plus Intels de facto (IT) world domination at the time it just seems unlikely.
Edit: some sentences didn't make even less sense, fixed.
