Comment Re:Linux Driver State? (Score 3, Informative) 281

State of ATI/AMD drivers on Linux is rather poor, much worse than nVidia. My recommendation is to stay away from AMD GPUs if you plan to use Linux. If you are looking for more details about AMD & Linux read this article on Phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_ayir_2011&num=1

It is just a matter of time when such systems will start appearing. I bought a laptop some time ago, and to my big surprise it had VT-x (Hardware Virtualization) flag disabled, enabling it by the vendor was just a matter of setting one bit in some processor registry, but still they decided to release BIOS without such option. You could buy similar laptop with VT-x enabled but it cost more. I expect that in 3 years time we will have to pay extra just to have Secure Boot option configurable. After all that feature will be purely for "experts" (that is Linux users) and they can afford paying more...

Come on guys. File size DOES NOT matter. You can distribute only the exe through the Market which will download (during the first run) rest of application data to SD card. There are already games which are distributed this way. This is also preferred sometimes, because you can distribute patches in more optimized way (instead of pushing 1.4GB to the market you tell your ~10MB exe to download only those parts of application which are required).
