Intel should provide documentation to the open source community.
Documentation will allow developers to write reliable drivers.
Intel should have an open license for its firmware, so that
the firmware can be freely distributed.

Earlier this week, a co-worker told me that his Intel wifi card
would not stay connected to the network.  My co-worker runs 
Windows, which is far from open.  I suggested he talk to IT to
obtain a non-Intel wifi card.

I have also suggested to a friend that buys IT products for a
bank to switch to AMD.  I also suggested he switch to other vendors
for his wifi cards.

I cannot convince you to open up your documentation.  I can tell 
everyone to avoid Intel products.  I will suggest alternatives to
Intel to those that run Windows.  

No longer is Intel a choice.  However, if you embrace the open source
community, then Intel becomes a choice.  I would rather spend extra on an open
source friendly company than a non-open source company.

Cheers,

Brian
