I am under the impression that the relation between the OS vendor (and kernel/driver devs on the OS side) and the HW companies (with their hw and driver devs) is full of hard nuts to swallow. From reading horror stories around winhec, and ms bloggers making strained comments about driver developers, it doesn't sound like a bed of roses :-) But, for good or bad, management has gotten used to the dynamic w Redmond. But I don't work close to the hardware. You do. So I shut up now :-) > in the competitive commercial landscape... I concede that point... to a point :-) I am interested in discussing the meatier parts of whether the commiditization that FOSS has applied to sw affects hw and how some time over a beer. As I said, I'm new to this hardware thing. m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
