Another example of the business model popularized by Microsoft. I'm surprised he didn't complain that the MP3 community lacks a corporation to sue when you don't like a song that you downloaded. We'll just have to see which audio format is around in a year or two, eh?
If you're just looking for basic video/audio you can easily get down to $30 a card... my local computer parts store is asking just that amount for a 4mb S3 Virge / soundblaster 16, both of which are nicely supported under Linux
-Overpriced -Overweight/bloated -unreliable -crash more frequently (of course, part of this is due to the higher rate of clueless posers drawn to all the shiny chrome)
We don't need to fight business _people_, we need to fight the inertia present in business _organizations_. Plenty of people want to do their jobs well and solve customer's problems and so forth, but are hobbled by crappy tools. Application programers such as myself would be much happier if there was wider acceptance of open-source type tools. Maybe changing old methodologies in a constructive way isn't as glamorous as fighting the "bad man", but it needs to be done.
