"Last year when AMD announced their acquisition of ATI it led many to wonder how this would impact the quality of their Linux support and driver. Some had even speculated that AMD would be opening the code to at least a subset of their graphics drivers, and while this issue has come up again more recently, we will cover this particular topic in a different article. In this article we will be exposing what truly consists of the ATI/AMD driver development cycle and ultimately what they are really doing to improve their image in the Linux community."

Yes, because improving such terrible drivers is simple in...how long has it been? A month? A few?
If they say they're working on decent drivers and don't deliver, I'll be one of the first to yell about it...
But jeeze man, give them some time.
Rome wasn't built in a day?
Decent software is, in my experience, never written in a day. Especially something as complex as GPU drivers!

I thought the point of TFA was that they are trying to make the drivers less horrible, even if not open. That was what I got out of it at least.
