AMD will soon deliver open graphics drivers, said Henri Richard just a few minutes ago, and the audience at the opening keynote of the Red Hat Summit broke into applause and cheers. Richard, AMD's executive vice president of sales and marketing, promised: "I'm here to commit to you that it's going to get done." He also promised that AMD is "going to be very proactive in changing way we interface with the Linux community".

"however, I am reluctant to believe Ati - they've had a good several months to get their 'ducks in line' and they've done nothing to improve the situation. "
Integrating 2 separate companies is not an easy task, there are various duplicate components (ie: accounting, human resources) that need to be integrated, networks to integrate, business practices, corporate culture, it's not an easy task. To expect AMD to just buy ATI and then change the entire company on a dime is unrealistic. I for one am pretty happy about this, and think the timing is perfect.
