It's astonishing... there are so many similarities it can't be a coincidence.
They just saw a new market and feeled they should be in.

Intel is able to promote their products on a different scale but I do think eoma68 can make it's way to the general public anyway. Having a good community making it easy to use for the lambda user can make a difference (just like there are Windows users switching to GNU/Linux everyday because they met a friendly and open community online).
