False. By launching a boycott against Matrox, Linux lobbyists manage to
get the specs for the Millemium card.
How would you react if you receive 2000 emails in a month from customers
telling you they chose X instead of their Y card because of the linux
compatibility ?
This worked for Matrox.
And that's why we now have accelerated drivers for Matrox and Nvidia
video cards : these companies did not pay developers without having
understood that to be Linux compatible increases their sales.
