I can't wait for the gallium effort to mature and take on more implementations. I'd wager 90% of binary performance in a couple years for both ATI and NVIDIA for most GPUs. I'd also hope to see more companies cutting driver development time in the future by using gallium from the get go on both Linux and Windows platforms. Biggest win is me being able to faithfully use older video hardware down the line without worries of no drivers from the manufacturer.
Exciting times to be a nerd... that likes Linux... and GPUs... and is comfortable with the fact that his friends and wife go cross eyed when he get a few beers in and excitedly starts talking about this gallium stuff.
