Propietery technology has always existed & will always continue to exist. There is nothing 'evil' in it. One cannot expect companies to open up everything & offer everything 4 free. If they did that, the company will loose it's edge & besides the fact that it will go out of business.

Regarding this topic, i will simply say that the fact that the driver exists (whether in closed or open form) is enough for me.

yep u r right. But even if games r available 4 Linux. i'm not very sure anyone would buy them. Gaming on Linux is not a very pleasant experience. I tried Quake 4 demo on FC5. All i can say is that I'd rather forget about the whole experience.

Hey, I have been doing a little research, it turns out that using propeitery modules with the Linux kernel is 'illegal'!!!. So anyone who makes drivers for Linux has to make sure that it is open source, or it is illegal!. Is this stupid or what. I think this is the surest way of making sure that most companies will not write Linux drivers.

I am appauled & stunned by the arrogance of the FSF community.
