GNU is Not Unix

Journal ILikeRed's Journal: ASUS not interested in helping GNU

Noticed in RMS's blog that ASUS basically told him that Free software is not a big enough market for them. I really am looking forward to the day where published hardware specs are the norm, but I guess I will have to stop buying ASUS products for awhile anyway.I really wonder if they just don't get it, or if they see some advantage I can not understand.

I am encouraged by Matrox's new support of open source drivers though. I always did like Matrox, not the fastest at 3D, but more than enough for any of my (and most business application's) needs. They always seemed more reliable to me as well, which somehow has always been more important to me than fancy pixel shading tricks. Guess I'm just not big enough of a gamer.
