People come and go, no big deal, and no reason for such an over the top headline. Especially when it concerns their proprietary driver. Really who cares.

Why? Your statement is on the third page and the reactions before you all indicated someone did care.

Using a 4850 with the FOSS driver for a long time, I switched to the binary blob as I'm learning a bit of OpenGL 3+.
(Actually, I blindly bought the 5th Ed. of the "OpenGL Super Bible", which does not cover the fixed function part anymore. Stupid, I wasn't aware of that - so, my bad... )
I still would prefer a FOSS driver but honestly: the blob is really doing an excellent job here which I didn't expected.
Seems like lots of people are to be negatively biased towards the binary, in a way that it doesn't deserve (anymore).
I don't use XVBA, so that's not an issue for me. Multi Screen with RandR 1.3 working flawless, 2D feels snappy with no artifacts and it's really stable.
