I love RISC competions from '90. To bad they (SGI, DEC, SUN) died. Fierce competition make good inovation.

Intel Reverts Plans, Will Not Support Ubuntu's XMir

Nokia acquisition
Just speculation but this may be related to what happened to Nokia the day before the commit. The desktop market is plummeting. Both Microsoft and Intel are starting to feel this decline. Maybe management of Microsoft and Intel negotiated a secret deal after the merge to make the "Windows Edge" based on x86 architecture and Windows?

This is such a worthless battle. For one, it's really quite ironic that a community that prides itself on giving users choice is all up in arms about having competing display servers. Furthermore, to dismiss the role that Canonical has had in making Linux better known is just plain ignorance. This is not to say that everybody needs to support what Canonical does, but to lash out and say "you were mean to us so we'll be mean to you" is childish at best.

AFAIK, most Ubuntu-preinstalled PC sold around the world (eg. more than 1000 Dell shops in China) come with Intel hardware.
One could think that the business logic for Intel would be to ensure that the future default display server of Ubuntu is fully compatible with their driver.

[QUOTE=Belial;355749]Originally posted by johnc View PostYeah, we've been hearing [from Intel] for years now that Haswell is going to end ARM once and for all.
Let us know how it turns out.[/QOUTE]
Let me know when arm makes Intel go the way of the dodo.
And that article isn't from Intel. It's an OEM.

Of course I'm still thinking Sony's console will have an advantage.

But it wouldn't have been possible if AMD's floating point performance were really all that bad, since it just wouldn't have been an option. So what that means is that AMD gives best floating point performance per dollar.

Redhat is a major contributor to the free graphics stack please get you facts straight and stop spreading fud.
RedHat doesn't care about Mir → no problem
Intel doesn't care about Mir → potential problem for Intel consumers in the long run (and so for Intel wallet)
Can you tell me where is the FUD above?
Again you have this around the wrong way. Canonical has commercial reasons ($$$) to support Intel.
I wonder why Intel is developing any driver then.Last edited by Malizor; 07 September 2013, 04:53 PM.

any one here know what the best part to this is? Linux developers now have a trend of saying F*** YOU!
Gabe Newell Said f*** you microsoft
Linus said F*** you Nvdia
Now intel said F*** You to CanonicalLast edited by LinuxGamer; 07 September 2013, 04:56 PM.
