    Interesting. Around Christmas, AMD anounced it was going to push hard to deliver stable video drivers for open source Linux.

    If Boxbee can meet the criteria to gain access to HD content (the fundimentals of which are decidedly NOT open source), I can easily ditch my restrictive M$ OS and have a single box solution where I don't have to pay hundreds of extra $ for the right to swap out hardware at will.
