As SOC become more capable, less need for dedicated GPU. Lower cost and smaller devices will drive this. If Kaveri plays BF4, it could take a big chunk of video card sales.
AMD is going to catch up with Intel offloading parallel work to the GPU.
Nvidia GPU will die out since they do not have a CPU to pair with it. Would have been good for Intel to by Nvidia. I don't think Intel will now that Nvidia is making Tegra ARM chips. Tegra is uphill battle against qualcomm and dozen other ARM companies.
I run xp, vista and fedora8. I have to say that When i boot into fedora8 it automatically updates the OS and ALL software installed automatically. I don't have to do a thing. Its nice not having to surf the web checking for updates for the tons of software I use. I vote Linux
