[advocacy-discuss] I was thinking...

[Uros Nedic]

  Renaud actually helped me because I wanted to ask question he already
asked.
Couple days ago I went to 'FujitsuSiemens Megastore' in Belgrade, Serbia to
see their offerings. Each new model equipped with AMD/ATI CPU/GPU did not
have driver support for OpenSolaris.

  They had support for Vista and Linux (some major distributions), but not
for OpenSolaris.

  Also, when I burn OpenSolaris distribution and share to my friend, drivers
are one of bottlenecks I got as a reply from them.

  That caused my question.

  Thank you for your comprehensive answer.

Regards,
Uros

Yes, I do, but I'm not at liberty to disclose the details of Sun & AMD's
dealings on the matter.   Sorry.   (See previous message about dealings
with other companies not being public.)
