Not that I care that much at this time.  They're too late in the game
and have lost my respect as a customer.  I'll continue to recommend
against them for a long time.  I once signed up for interface
documentation with the intention of writing a Linux driver for a then
unsupported camera.  The reply I got back indicated that they basically
didn't care about Linux.  Not like I was asking *them* to write a
driver.  Not like the interface documentation wasn't there.  Just a
completely idiotic refusal.

Fortunately the camera soon got supported (presumably through
reverse-engineering), and in the meantime I could just pull out the
flash card and stick it in a reader.
