I'm still of the view that a Hardware Vendor (being a vendor of phisical merchandise) should support the major multiple OS that a customer may choose from rather than push a Software Developer's mandate of a single platform.
Companies should serve there Customers rather than backroom lock-in license deals.
I am pleased as a pickle that more hardware manufacturers are finally looking at OS outside the proprietary world though.
If someone can give me an ATI/nVidia equivalent GPU I'd become pleased as a sweet pickle. Unfortunately, the most open GPU provider is Intel and they just don't push the gaming grade graphics that the proprietaries do.
Boo! and Bad Ati/nVidia; no biscute for you if you continue to provide closed binaries (fine, there hardware patent issues involved so it has to stay closed for now) which function like what a dog wouldn't even eat compaired to the Win-monopoly drivers.
