I guess it's just a perception since the work that is done on Linux is transparent while most work on MS products is not.

Or maybe they are getting ready in the unlikely case that Windows 10 switches to a subscription model that drives millions of consumers away? (Yeah, right, as if that's ever going to happen)

Kind of what I am referring to is driver work, developer adoption, Vulkan, DE's, are all moving at warp speed right now. It just feels like everything is falling into place for a mid/late 2015 Linux surge

Who knows it might be just you, but likely it is not entirely true IHV/ISVs are preparing to be ready for Windows 10 launch, marketing machinery too - that always results as kaboom effect to some extend .

But people are free to give them a bird anyday, that does not hurt

I think regulators banned them. I read that somewhere.

Iris Pro is quite fast, but you can't use it to build non-expensive desktop PC with low TDP.
