Yes it is open source. ATI's drivers are not open source either. If your comparing nVidia's graphics with Intel's then go ahead and stick with Intel. <BR/><BR/>No, closed source software does not hurt Linux or the open source world, as much as the FSF wants you to believe so. <BR/>There has to be a balance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254802806210780775.post-51014067460461365222007-07-13T06:43:00.000-04:002007-07-13T06:43:00.000-04:00Um is this driver open-source? if it is i am very happy. proprietary drivers destroy the whole point of linux, and are a really big disadvantage to the open source system .<BR/><BR/>boo nvidia, im going to buy intel!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254802806210780775.post-8119834717597919092007-07-13T02:47:00.000-04:002007-07-13T02:47:00.000-04:00YES!
