Hmm, I'd say that more correctly, AMD has failed to step up and taken
ownership of ATI; they've bought them in terms of a transaction but the
management there are pussy-footing around the edge by refusing to by
their foot down and say, "this is what you (at ati) are going to do as
part of our larger stratergy - don't like it, there is the door".

Unfortunately it is easier for AMD to blame everyone else for their
ineptness to take charge of the situation.
