I am. I tell them quite simply that the decisions not to allow free drivers to exist for their product means that I not only won't buy or reccomend our local places buy their cardbus cards, but I tell my vendor reps that "I won't buy or have my people buy laptop model X because the wireless chipset in it won't work with anything but windows, long term" - I'll look for a laptop with a realtek (or other vendor that allows free driver to be written). The vendor reps (when you're a big place and they hear it enough) tend to take that back to the company. I know IBM has switched wireless chipsets several times. Which reminds me, I am laptop shopping this week, and how I hear these things getting resolved will definately affect what I order, and I intend to tell my reps that. -Bob      |
