    Yes, I wasn't aware, but bridgman (from AMD) later on clarified that (sad) fact to me. With the ongoing success of open source, though, things are going more and more open in the industry, so I can only hope this will not be the case in the future. Not for basic things like acceleration/encoding technologies.

    The rest of your post is just bashing me and/or Linux with unfounded and outdated remarks, so I'll keep this short
