Lazy? Most of the people who write the Open Source drivers are UN-paid volunteers. That hardly qualifies as "lazy".....

No what I meant was no FINACIAL incentive to make sure they work with Linux.... vs WIN they are likely getting kickbacks if not some support from.

Of course that could maybe easily change if Linux folks told ATI love your card on the OS from hell WIN, and would like to support you and buy you product on LINUX... unfortunately my (Dell ground up) Linux PC came with your card and isn't working right... want a future customer after this your self imposed of ignoring hell?... get your act together!!!

With Mac staying the 10% they have always been (for propiatary big buck reasons) But WIN loosing BIG ground to Linux... Used to be 85% plus... now well down into the lower 70's on many counts.

And I have verified this with my own website OS hit counts. (Other.. like there are that many Web TV's, other odd things still out there?)... likely just non browser ID'd linux/unix plus the ones that are... and in excess of the forever static (and historic 8-10%) Mac numbers, and again that GUESS WHO share growing all the time and WIN shrinking all the time, again Mac staying thier dihard 8-10%.... but a very substantial 25-30% AND GROWING out of WIN's share... not just this, but every month other plus id'd Linux gets a little bigger and WIN gets a little smaller.

AND THAT IS THE OTHER INTERESTING THING IT SEEMS TO BE PASSING just THE TECHNO GEEKS like HERE...AND ACTUALY PASSING INTO THE MAINSTREAM now, it has become much less command line and much more Windows GUI like. Ubuntu, etc...
