Yes, I read this very same article with great interest (and what a good timing it had, considering our discussion here) and was pleased by what I read. > I personally value my computing freedoms and believe in what Debian > and the FSF stand for so it looks like Intel will be getting a wad of > my hard earned cash in the near future. The very same here. I don't want to ge tied to a given operating system and I would like to be able to use my hardware with other systems like, say, OpenBSD (which I have not experienced before). And, for this reason, having a big company like Intel backing the development of drivers (which, after released, would be "imported" by other projects) is indeed a nice thing that is able to guide my buying decisions (and even what I recommend to the Universities where I work, so that I can actually teach the use of Free Tools for students).
