One
of the biggest issues has been heat, which is where the Intel Atom
began making inroads. And now, with the latest generation of i5 and
i7 processors finding their way in to “ultrabooks” I have to
think they’ll soon be hooked up to cameras too.
What,
I wonder, are the implications of this shift? Will machine vision
users want Windows-based smart cameras, or will we migrate to Linux?
I can see that becoming an attractive path, in which case Ned Lecky
of Voyant
Vision
will be on to another winner. Or is there a case for Google’s
Chrome?
Just
a thought.

Here's another take, processing on camera interface card: http://www.silicon-software.de/en/smartapplets.html
The winners are going the be cameras supporting, and the developers writing portable code.
Why should you care whether your application is going to run in a linux/windows/mac box or smart camera a or b? Of course there will be differences between the platforms that you need to address, but the days are over where a very complex vision system is implemented in some highly camera specific scripting langauge and/or GUI drag'n'drop interface.
Some further thoughts
