"CEO == Business major attractive enough for TV interviews."

No rule without exceptions. McBride of Caldera, er, SCO, looks like a retarded gimp who has had his face smashed by an angry dwarf:

Well, it's an interesting piece from AnandTech. It tells us about what you get when you gather 13 of the most influential CEOs in the motherboard market. You get an excellent avenue to understand where this industry is headed. You find out what the heads of the motherboard industry think about everything from AMD's Opteron to the future of the worldwide economy in our first quarterly CEO Forum.

Is that ok?

Here's the gist of the it:

ABIT: Anyone know when Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 are coming out?

The question they didn't ask

[Zog The Undeniable]

Will you continue to save 2 cents per board by using cheap electrolytic capacitors that leak after 12 months' use?

No way!

I basically copy and paste the article summary from the front page as a weak attempt at humour (I have flu so it's also my best shot) and someone mods it as interesting.

It seems people don't even read the front page anymore!

Too many commas

[vandan]

The author, of the article, placed too many, commas, in the article.

Maybe one, was inserted, each time, he/she, stopped to, think?

Re:Where's Linux???

[jkrise]

What we really want is proper manufacturers' drivers for all the chipsets on the board, included on the CD that comes with the motherboard.

Exactly! And you can bet your last penny that they'd never ask anyone that question. Not a single CEO would have answered it anyway - they are only too aware that Bill Almighty and Intel Godfather wouldn't like it one bit!

In fact, the entire meeting simply Ignores Linux - prolly they are in Step 2 of the Ghandicon. I'm inclined to think mobo mfrs could be subsidised by the big guys to make life difficult for Linux, but then I'm prone to conspiracy theories...

Nice point.
