Bias is in the eye of the beholder. To you it may seem like verbal vomit that’s simply an incoherent mess of M$-bashing, but others will see it as an interesting point-by-point article on Microsoft’s current and future challenges. The article isn’t nearly as old as some people would like you to believe, it’s quite plainly dated on the top “23-Feb-03 – rev 12-Oct-03”.
1. It’s bad because it can be taken away. Let’s take nVidia or ATI. If both companies would suddenly stop their Linux support, it’d be quite a disaster for Linux. Sure, you could still use nv and vesa, but you wouldn’t be able to really have a 3D desktop.

Sheldon Karasik became CEO and Chairman and a member of the Board of Directors in October, 2017. During the past five years, up until October, 2017 when he became CEO and Chairman of Mineral Mountain, Mr. Karasik worked as an attorney running his own law firm. Much of that time was spent handling international transactional and other corporate matters for clients, including contracts, private investment vehicles, tax and employment matters. One of those clients was Mineral Mountain, for which Mr. Karasik served as general counsel prior to his appointment as CEO and Chairman. Mr. Karasik has been a licensed attorney since 1981.
Besides, one pattern I usually see in people having problems with PCs is people who buy them from brands unknown, and ussually go for the cheapest parts.
Secondly, I can’t speak about ATI, but the last time this came up (Kororaa), I went investigating into the binary/GPL/derived issue as it relates to the NVidia drivers under linux:
Secrecy or lack thereof has not proven to be a point in favor or to the negative to the success of a hardware company. While it will hopefully change in the future, support for non-windows based systems makes only a small difference in desktop targeted hardware.
A company who makes drivers available but does not make them a requirement for purchase is trying to maximize profit, but are not acting in an underhanded or immoral way IMHO.
The Company and our future activities could be subject to SEC laws, regulations and enforcement actions which could adversely affect our future operations.
Big Apps: So far, I’ve installed my big Adobe apps – Acrobat, Illustrator, GoLive, Photoshop and InDesign. One of the big OS X problems has been app launch time. Well, I opened them all once, but didn’t count that because, of course, the apps are initializing files, etc. and that always takes longer. So, when i opened them a second time, I was amazed by the difference. The responsiveness is great.
You can lease a Mac for as little as (from advertised prices I have seen) $30 bucks a month. You do not have to buy it later like a car, just return it with everything they gave you.
TiVo is doing better than the competitors that will rent their hardware. Because if you only rent and don’t own the hardware you can’t ask them to give back the GPL code.
