How much modern computer hardware is fully open source or at least has fully open interfaces that allow anyone to create device drivers? I Sun and another company (Anglo-Italian firm Simply-RISC) released a processor based on Suns offering but has anyone else? Would you be more inclined to buy a machine based on open source hardware rather than proprietary products such as Asus, Intel and AMD?
