Not to my knowledge, but I haven't been keeping up to date either. I think there is a better chance of seeing an open mobile platform than a desktop or laptop. The PC platform is too closely tied to M$. They are the big dog in that market. The Open Hardware concept still has a ways to go. But, I ran Linux v0.93b back in the day... It seems to have done OK.
