I'm sure that they'll do both in the end. Once it's clear that you sell
hardware by making it usable, then the usability thing will be properly
supported. I'd love to have an OpenGL-capable linux on the PPC machine
sat next to me, unfortunately, it has an nVidia card, and nVidia don't
think you should use their cards with linux on PPC machines for 3D work.
