Yes, I read this very same article with great interest (and what a good
timing it had, considering our discussion here) and was pleased by what
I read.

The very same here. I don't want to ge tied to a given operating system
and I would like to be able to use my hardware with other systems like,
say, OpenBSD (which I have not experienced before).
And, for this
reason, having a big company like Intel backing the
development of drivers (which, after released, would be "imported" by
other projects) is indeed a nice thing that is able to guide my buying
decisions (and even what I recommend to the Universities where I work,
so that I can actually teach the use of Free Tools for students).
