Originally posted by Qaridariumsure and what is the point of that? for AMD as a capitalist company the OS driver is PR.
but at this point PR is good and amd need good PR to.Originally posted by smitty3268 View PostDid you even read Bridgman's response? You can do that, and the number of responses you get is going to be way, way, WAY under 1% of total sales. Which would then mean they'd end up cutting Linux developers. If you mean they should compare responses from Linux users to Windows users, that opens up the whole "gaming the system" argument.

I want to give money for progress!
And I'm sure I'm not alone!
Is this hard to understand?
Is windows drivers develop different? Are they financed by aliens from outerspace or what?
Untill this is revised - AMD opensource drivers will be low quality/lacking/unusable/always staying behind!
Are IBM/Oracle/Novell/RedHat also pay kernel developers based on 1% OS desktop market unlinked to their company sells?
The resonse I get from Bridgeman is simple: the drivers are good & we are interested in improving them.
