Wonder if it’s the same Joachim Kempin again…

The Intel legacy should make a point for OEMs that are tired of being blackmailed and smeared in public by Microsoft. Soon after Intel released free software drivers for their chipsets, there was a wave of gamer complaints about the performance of Intel graphics under XP. Intel was also a victim of the Vista capable fiasco. In both cases the Microsoft press spun the issue as Intel’s fault but Intel performance under gnu/linux has been just fine, especially for gaming of the intensity that might have been delivered under XP. For a nominal amount of work, Intel enjoys a good graphics reputation in the gnu/linux world but is regarded as dog poop by Windows addicts despite a lot more support and effort expended at their expense. Companies should reject Microsoft’s humiliating deals and exit the collapsing Windows market.
